Description:
A spectacular, original production embraces all of the time-honored elements of this charming ballet in the new setting of Tennessee in 1897. This is truly Nashville's Nutcracker with the addition of historic landmarks, famous families of the era, and even a visit to the celebrated Tennessee Centennial Exposition. This full production, conceived and choreographed by Paul Vasterling, includes sumptuous sets and costumes, local youth performers playing Clara and her friends, and Tchaikovsky's glorious score.
