About The Nutcracker

 

The Nutcracker an old-fashioned holiday ballet features dancers from the Carnegie Performing Arts Center plus students from many local dance studios ranging in age from 5 – adult. Let us transport you back in time and bring the Nutcracker ballet to life for your whole family to enjoy.  The story of the Nutcracker brings the dream of a little girl 

named Clara to life. A handsome Nutcracker Prince battles an evil Rat King. They both sled through swirling snowflakes and discover an enchanting Candy Kingdom. Artistic Director Monica Ryan choreographs this magical production. 

Our annual Nutcracker production is presented at the historic Andrew Carnegie Music Hall in Carnegie PA. “With its wonderful acoustics the Music Hall has been the site of many ballet performances, concerts, musicals and stage plays.”
