It's the holiday favorite, sparkling with Robert Gardner's Uncle Drosselmeier and Mother Ginger, classic roles he has delightfully filled for the Minnesota Ballet for 25 years. And there's so much more in this Allen Fields' production. The festive party in a Manhattan townhouse. The fierce battle between the Nutcracker and soldiers against the Mouse King and his minions. Shimmery snowflakes waltzing in white-capped Central Park. A journey to exotic lands of beautiful dance presided over by the Sugar Plum Fairy and capped by lovely waltzing flowers, all to the beloved Tchaikovsky music played by our Minnesota Ballet Orchestra.
