The Nutcracker Ballet

Richland Academy of the Arts Presents The Nutcracker Ballet. Richland Academy dancers will bring Richland County its most celebrated holiday tradition with its sixth annual production of The Nutcracker Ballet. We are excited to be performing at the beautiful Renaissance Theatre for this holiday tradition. A wonderful ballet for the entire family, The Nutcracker is the perfect way to introduce young children to the power and beauty of classical dance. Tchaikovsky’s magical score, with fairytale scenery, and vibrantly theatrical staging will deliver what is sure to be a stunning production of The Nutcracker!

The Nutcracker tells the story of a little girl named Clara who is given a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. She encounters the frightful Rat King before embarking on a magical journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets where she meets the Sugar Plum fairy and is entertained with many different kinds of dances. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for the spectacular Richland Academy production of The Nutcracker!
