"Nutcracker Streamlined"

the new Nutcracker is a steamlined version of the old three hour performance well suited to the young people in attendence in great numbers.

It was an absolute treat! My 7 year old daughter loved the hot air balloon and sat with her mouth dropped the whole time. I had forgotten just how beautiful the Opera House was...it was just pure holiday magic! I can't guarantee I could afford every year, (but oh how I would love to) but I can guarantee we will be back again and again. Uncle Drosselmeier and Clara were fantastic and it was a great cast all around. The set and choreography were brilliant. I don't think I could say enough. We bought a Nutcracker at the concession stand and my daughter walked around for days pretending she was Clara - just loving the Nutcracker. My minor (and I mean minor) criticism was that the second act wasn't quite as awe inspiring as the first, but that's like saying the cake wasn't as good as the frosting. Worth putting on anyone's bucket list. Collapse
