It’s Opening Night for The Nutcracker
The magic of The Nutcracker returns to the Benedum Center stage! Beneath the Stahlbaum’s growing Christmas tree, a battle between the chivalrous Nutcracker prince and the unrelenting Rat King unfolds, captivating the young Marie and sending her on an adventure through the Land of Enchantment. Stunning scenes, glittering snowflakes and Tchaikovsky’s positively charming score make The Nutcracker a classic Pittsburgh holiday tradition.
Choreography & Concept: Terrence S. Orr
Music: P.I. Tchaikovsky
