The Nutcracker

December 10-26, 2010 - Benedum Center

"'The Nutcracker' manages to pack a passel of holiday memories, both big and small, into its extravagant package..."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Find yourself swept into the childlike wonder of the holidays with The Nutcracker!  The Edwardian glamour of the opening scene sets the stage for a fantasy world, where an epic battle between the Nutcracker Prince and the evil Rat King propels you into a magical land of delectable treats.  From the exuberance of the Russian trepak to the delicacy of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier’s pas de deux, brilliant dancing abounds in this beloved Pittsburgh tradition.
