THE NUTCRACKER IN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
Nutcracker Ballet in the Land of Enchantment transports the beloved holiday classic to territorial New Mexico in the late 1800s, with added elements of the state’s heritage and traditions including Spanish dancers, Southwestern Snakes, Sheep and Shepherdesses, a lively Fandango, a Cochiti Storyteller doll with children, the Roadrunner and Coyote, and lavish Victorian-era western costumes while resplendent in classical tradition.
Now in its 10th year, the production showcases New Mexico heritage and traditions while maintaining the classical grace and family appeal of its origins. Choreographed by Patricia Dickinson Wells, the live orchestra brings the production to life; Maestro Guillermo Figueroa, is an internationally renowned conductor and violinist and a 2012 Latin Grammy nominee.
