Collierville Ballet Presents “The Nutcracker”

BY Sarah Comeau

This December the Collierville Ballet performed  a holiday classic – The Nutcracker.  Tchaikovsky’s great score set the scene as this beloved story was brought to new glory for the families of Collierville to enjoy.

“Meet sweet little Clara and her Uncle Drosselmeyer, who dazzles party guests with his delightful holiday gifts.  The Nutcracker Soldier underneath a magical tree that grows higher and higher while dancing toy soldiers battle mischievous mice will captivate you with their sword-play and might.

Get transported to a snow covered winter forest filled with shimmering snowflakes that swirl and sway.  Then it’s on to the rich Kingdom of Sweets, ruled by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier Prince performed by our Nutcracker Guest Artists, from the San Antonio Ballet – Kathleen Martin and Mayim Stiller.” – From Collierville Ballet’s website http://www.colliervilleballet.org/
