SUMMARY:Cleveland Ballet Offers a Dozen "Nutcracker" Performances With Spec
 ial Events
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFri 12/12-Sun 12/14\nThu 12/18-Sun 12/21\nWhat is there lef
 t to say about the traditional holiday ballet The Nutcracker? Once again\,
  the Cleveland Ballet brings the enchanting story back to Playhouse Square
 ’s Connor Palace Theatre for 11 performances\, a mix of evening performa
 nces and matinees\, where parents and grandparents can bring little girls 
 clad in their favorite velvet party dress or lacy tutu.\nBased on a work b
 y 18th/19th-century German fantasy author E.T.A. Hoffman\, it tells the st
 ory of a young girl who gets a nutcracker doll for Christmas\, which comes
  to life and whisks her away to a magical land where dancers perform a ser
 ies of character and romantic dances that give ballet companies the opport
 unity to showcase their members’ talents and every little girl dreams of
  someday dancing the Sugarplum Fairy. The music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsk
 y is so familiar that you know it even if you don’t know you know it.\n
  But the Cleveland Ballet is bringing some special events as sweeteners. 
 The evening shows on Friday December 12 and Saturday December 13\, and Thu
 rsday December 18-Sunday December 21 with feature 15-minute “Behind the 
 Curtain” artist talks starting 45 minutes prior to curtain. At the matin
 ees on both Saturdays and Sunday\, there’ll be meet-and-greet photo ops 
 with the cast after the show.\nIn addition\, there’ll be Dew Drop Face J
 ewels prior to each evening performance\, meet-and-greet photo ops with th
 e Cleveland Grays after all 11 performances\, and carolers from the Singin
 g Angels in the lobby on Friday December 12\, Sunday December 14 and Frida
 y December 19. And on opening night\, Friday December 12\, there’ll be a
  “Nutty Nightcap” after the 7pm show.\n Get tickets to all performanc
 es here.\ncleveballet.org/the-nutcracker\n[mappress mapid="3354"]
