Nutcracker Dream

“There are moments of such beauty you will find it hard to breathe at times… The company is uniformly excellent and the choreography is constantly surprising, subtle and winning.” -Dance Enthusiast The Emelin Theatre is proud to present Nutcracker Dream: Inspired by the work of Rudolf Nureyev and Marius Petipa, this 90-minute adaptation by French-American choreographer Carole Alexis is an exquisite interpretation of the beloved holiday classic.
