The Nutcracker's beautiful music, lush scenery and lavish costumes set the
perfect backdrop for E.T.A. Hoffmann's timeless story. Young imaginations
will be sparked and audiences of all ages delighted as a Christmas tree
grows to huge proportions, mice and soldiers battle, and waltzing
snowflakes whirl about amidst "real" falling snow. Children will
especially enjoy seeing candies and sweets from exotic lands come to life
and a gigantic Mother Ginger as she plays with her many ginger children.
The Nutcracker is more than a regional attraction. It's bringing
neighboring communities together in support of the performing arts. It's
creating opportunities for youth to perform in the most well-known and
beloved story ballet of all times. It's carrying forward a holiday
tradition that has endured for over 100 years. And for many area
residents, having a chance to dance in The Nutcracker is simply a dream
come true.
This year will mark Southwest Virginia Ballet's fifteenth performance of
The Nutcracker, a holiday tradition for many families, and core part of the
region's Christmas festivities. According to Mike Lawson, SVB Executive
Director, the cast of 160 represents more than 50 area schools from across
central and southwest Virginia.
Tickets for The Nutcracker will go on sale Friday, July 8 and will be
available for $17, $24, $29, $31, and $41 at the Roanoke Civic Center Box
Office, online at HomeTownBankTix.com and by phone at (877) HTB-TIXNow
(482-8496). Ticket prices for children under the age of 18 will start at
