COLUMBUS, Ohio — BalletMet’s “The Nutcracker” will soon return to the Ohio Theatre with 22 performances.
The production will run from Dec. 11 to Dec. 28, and it will have two “My First Nutcracker” sensory friendly interactions, and it will feature more than 180 Academy students and trainees.
“Since 1978, BalletMet’s The Nutcracker has been one of Columbus’s most beloved holiday traditions, and it is a joy for all of us at BalletMet to see it return,” said BalletMet’s Artistic Director Remi Wörtmeyer. “While the ballet will remain what Central Ohio knows and loves, we have a few surprises in store, making the overall Nutcracker experience even more exciting.”
The shows will feature nearly 300 costumes, 300 pounds of fake snow and 200 dancers.
“Guided by Tchaikovsky‘s iconic score and Gerard Charles’s choreography, the two will weave together fantasy, adventure, and the spirit of the holiday season as the ballet follows Clara, the Nutcracker Prince, and their unforgettable journey,” a press release states.
