On December 8th and 9th, our city has its very own community Nutcracker performance! The ballet The Nutcracker follows a young girl, Clara, who gets a Nutcracker for Christmas and embarks on an epic trip to the Land of Sweets. A few CV Raiders are in it as well, including Nicole Emry, Laurel Muhly, Clara Roberts, Lucy Van Tress, William Van Tress, Linnea Miller, Kate Hendricks, Cordelia Pryor, Sophia Neff, Isabelle Lei, and Brielle Barlow. This year’s performance is around the 30th anniversary of the Regional School of Ballet’s original performance of the Nutcracker! The origins of The Nutcracker date back to its premier in St. Petersburg in 1892. Czar Alexander III requested it to be performed and choreographed by Marius Pepita and Lev Ivanov. The story of the Nutcracker came from Alexandre Dumas’ interpretation of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffman. Piotr Tchaikovsky designed the music for this performance and it can often be heard on radio stations in the winter, in movies, and even in video games!
