This is a professional production of the Nutcracker Ballet with adult dancers under the direction of Riet Velthuisen.  Her European training is reflected in her choreography and precise technique.  While she chooses to eliminate the battle scene, the story remains true to nature with a milder conflict, magic and beauty, and all the joys of Tchaikovsky's music. Learn more about Continental Ballet.
