World Ballet Company is announcing its holiday tour of “The Nutcracker,” featuring a family-friendly production of the world-famous ballet.
A Mahoning Valley performance takes place 7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 1 at W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren.
The traveling show features an international cast and a live orchestra conducted by Vadim Nikitin. The production includes over 150 hand-sewn costumes, hand-painted sets, immersive projections and multimedia effects.
The performance runs 1 hour and 40 minutes and includes a 20-minute intermission. The show is recommended for children 2 years and older.
“Our goal is to make ballet accessible without compromising its artistry,” said company director Sasha Gorskaya.
“We created this ‘Nutcracker’ for everyone — from families seeing ballet for the first time to audiences who have loved it all their lives. With live orchestral music bringing Tchaikovsky’s score to life, it’s a world-class experience that celebrates joy, imagination and togetherness.”
Tickets start at $58. For tickets and more information, see here.
