A SPECIAL HOLIDAY EVENT

Nutcracker Dream is a beautiful interpretation of the beloved holiday classic that premiered last season at the Emelin Theatre, and delighted audiences young and old with its artistry and storytelling. Inspired by the work of Marius Petipa and Rudolf Nureyev, Nutcracker Dream is a one-hour family friendly adaptation of the seasonal favorite, created by world-renowned Choreographer Carole Alexis, and performed by Westchester’s premier dance company Ballet des Amériques. Alexis’ interest in creating Nutcracker Dream is to bring families and friends together around the essence of what the story represents, namely, the beautiful balance between Marie’s childhood playfulness and her coming of age in the midst of her own circle of family and friends. 

Professional dancers from Ballet des Amériques perform the featured roles of the ballet, while additional roles will be cast by audition among young dancers from across the area.
