Slawomir Wozniak's beloved Nutcracker returns for the festive season
One of Phoenix's foremost ballet schools, Ballet Etudes has been entertaining Arizona audiences since its formation in 1986. Their annual production of The Nutcracker provides one of the pinnacles of the season to showcase this talented company's skills on stage. Telling the magical story of Clara and her beloved Nutcracker Prince, the dancers take on the multiple roles of candy dancers, angels and fairies, in a full-length production.
There's nothing like some holiday pops to get you in the festive mood! As much a part of the Christmas celebrations as all those Nutcrackers and Christmas Carols, Holiday Pops sees your city's orchestra bringing the holiday cheer for a Christmas extravaganza with a mix of popular standards, film scores, carols and hymns.
The Arizona Ballet's production of The Nutcracker is Phoenix's holiday season highlight and a celebration to share with the whole family! Decked out in over 10,000 Swarovski crystals, dancing toys, mischievous mice, waltzing flowers, and sparkling snowflakes dance to Tchaikovsky's sumptuous score performed by The Phoenix Symphony.
The highlight of the Phoenix Ballet's winter season, the critically acclaimed Nutcracker promises a spirit-lifting, festive evening of enchanting dance and soaring music. The ensemble's artistic director Slawomir Wozniak breathes new life into the Yuletide favorite with inventive, exuberant, and often acrobatic choreography that injects a sense of fun and a sprinkling of light-hearted humor into the widely-performed ballet, striking a perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
The Phoenix Theatre Company have a holiday treat in store, with a festive production of Miracle on 34th Street! In this inspired American fable, a department store Santa Claus claims to be the real deal, as he tries to bring the wonder of Christmas into the lives of a skeptical mother and a precocious daughter.
The Nutcracker is one of the country's favorite Christmas events, and one of the most performed ballets in the world! This magical story of dancing toys and a Nutcracker prince is paired perfectly with Tchaikovsky's beautiful score. An annual Nutcracker performance by your local ballet company is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas with the whole family!
