The Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet is deeply nestled in hearts across the world. The beloved story is set on Christmas Eve, at the foot of a Christmas tree, and transports audiences to a magical world where Christmas dreams do come true. This enchanting ballet is an adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffman’s short story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”, masterfully set to music by much-adored Russian maestro Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Since its premiere in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1892, this two-act rendition of the magical story about Clara and the Nutcracker Prince has made its way into the collection of most-treasured ballets around the globe. With classical favorites such as “Waltz of the Flowers”, “March” from Act 1, and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”, it is little wonder that this enchanting ballet has been part of American Christmas traditions for over 60 years.
Talmi Entertainment’s Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet has been sharing their wonderful Christmas tradition with audiences in America for over 30 years. The record-breaking seasons and sold-out theatres of various beloved ballets such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella serve as testament to the immaculate quality of Talmi Entertainment’s productions.
The Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet is staying committed to its message of universal hope, love, peace, and understanding, transcending all conflict and creating unity across oceans. This is reflected in the international all-star cast and crew from Ukraine, Japan, Turkey and beyond: from the innovative Ukrainian ballet master Viktor Davydiuk’s superb choreography to 35-times Oscar nominee Carl Sprague’s enthralling set design; from South African pioneer puppeteer Roger Titley to mesmerizing cyr wheel artists Alex Oliva and Grzegorz Jastrzebski hailing from Canada and Poland respectively; not to even mention the award-winning world-class principal dancers such as gold medallist Batur Buklu, Karyna Shatkovskaya, and 2022 Honoured Artist of Ukraine, Olena Pecheniuk, award-winner Kazakhstani, Rustem Imangaliyev, Cuban medallist Alex Yordano De Armas Perez and extraordinarily talented Ukrainian Daria Ivanenko among others.
The wonderful McAllen Performing Arts Center, located at the Convention Center in McAllen, Texas, will be turned into a magical, breath-taking Christmas wonderland unlike ever seen before at the 1,800-seat venue.
