Ballet Performance Celebration
Nashville, get ready for a magical afternoon! The Grand Kyiv Ballet is gearing up to present a spectacular rendition of The Nutcracker at the lovely Opry House on Sunday, November 24th, at 4 p.m. This enchanting performance promises to whisk you into a world filled with dreams, magic, and heartwarming tales of triumph over adversity.
Join the spectacular company of the Grand Kyiv Ballet, which boasts some of Ukraine’s most prestigious ballet dancers. Known for their captivating storytelling through dance, this talented group has thrilled audiences worldwide – and now it’s Nashville’s turn to experience their artistry. The Nutcracker is a timeless classic that has been charming audiences since its adaptation into a ballet in 1892, thanks to the brilliant music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky and the imaginative libretto by Marius Petipa.
As you settle into your seat, let the enchanting story unfold before your eyes. On a Christmas Eve filled with excitement, young Mary and her brother Fritz await fun surprises when their guests begin to arrive at their home. With the grand entrance of their quirky godfather Drosselmeyer, a magician, things soon take a wondrous turn. His arrival with a special Nutcracker ignites curiosity and excitement. Who knew the evening would plunge Mary into a spectacular dream?
When the clock strikes midnight, Mary’s dream begins: her room transforms into a magical realm, the Christmas tree grows taller, and decorations come alive! Adventure awaits as Mary and the Nutcracker battle against the menacing Mouse King and his mouse army. The excitement doesn’t stop there! In the second act, a grand celebration ensues under a starry sky, filled with dancing dolls and snowy bliss. It’s a visual feast that both children and adults alike will enjoy.
Even more special, a portion of the proceeds from this performance will go towards the much-needed renovation of the Kyiv State Choreographic College and support the repair of its children’s dormitory. By attending The Nutcracker, you’re not only witnessing a breathtaking performance but also contributing to the cultural preservation of this esteemed institution that has cultivated generations of talented dancers. How wonderful is that?
This heartwarming production is suitable for all audiences age five and older, making it a perfect outing for families looking to enjoy a delightful afternoon. The entire show runs for about two hours, including a 20-minute intermission, giving everyone a chance to stretch their legs and savor delicious snacks at the Opry House.
If you’re itching to be part of this magical experience, don’t wait! Tickets are available now, but they won’t last long. Gather your loved ones and head over to the Opry House on November 24th for an unforgettable performance of The Nutcracker.
So mark your calendars, round up your family and friends, and get ready for a whimsical adventure this holiday season with the Grand Kyiv Ballet. We can’t wait to see you there!
