STAGES THE NUTCRACKER
Oklahoma City Ballet will stage its holiday
performances of The Nutcracker
presented by Devon Energy at Civic Center Music Hall, December 12-22, 2015 for
a 10-show performance run. This beloved holiday classic choreographed by
Artistic Director Robert Mills stays true to the original libretto that
premiered in 1892 at the Marinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. The Oklahoma City Philharmonic, under the
direction of Music Director Joel Levine, will perform Tchaikovsky’s familiar
score live at every performance.
Single
tickets start at $15 and are available now through OKC Ballet and Civic Center
Box offices.
This
classic tale tells the story of Clara, who receives a beautiful handmade wooden
Nutcracker from the quirky Herr Drosselmeyer at a Christmas Eve party. That night, Clara sneaks downstairs to play
with her new Nutcracker and is swept away to a fantasyland of toy soldiers,
giant mice and dancing snowflakes. After
saving her beloved Nutcracker from the Evil Mouse King, she is whisked away to
the enchanted Kingdom of Sweets and Toys, where she is treated to performances
by fanciful dancing confections and toys, including the Sugar Plum Fairy.
As
an added treat, Santa Claus will be in the main lobby for one hour prior to 2pm
matinee performances. Families will have
the opportunity to take photos with Santa as a holiday keepsake (service fees
apply). Children are invited to make
their own silver and gold beaded crown as a keepsake, sponsored and provided by
Oklahoma Contemporary. Following each 2 pm matinee performance, dancers from The Nutcracker will be available in the
main lobby for photos and autographs, while patrons can enjoy refreshments
courtesy of Braum’s.
Performances
take place on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2
p.m.; Friday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 19 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.;
Sunday, Dec. 20 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Monday, Dec. 22 at 7 p.m.

HARTEL DANCE COMPANY
GIVES PERFORMANCE
WORTHY OF CONTINUANCE
By Nancy Condit
The Austin Hartel Dance Company presented Retrospective November 6, 2015, at Contemporary
Arts that left me hoping for more such programs as Hartel begins to record his work while creating new dances. "Despues de la tempestad," choreographed by Gloria Oviedo in its world premiere, and Hartel's "Llorando" were both spectacular.
