Juab Fine Arts Council: The Nutcracker Ballet

The cast of the Juab Fine Arts Council’s Nutcracker Ballet would like to invite the community to view this year’s performance of The Nutcracker Ballet on December 9th, 10th & 12th at 7pm in the Juab Fine Arts Auditorium in the county building 170 N Main Nephi.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door. Each year, volunteers create a variety of costumes and set pieces that are always changing and getting better. The cast ranges in age from 5 years old to Adult and features a wide array of talent from beginning dancers to ballerinas on pointe.

The Nutcracker is an 1892 two-act ballet, originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The story of The Nutcracker is loosely based on the E.T.A. Hoffmann fantasy story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”, about a girl who befriends a nutcracker that comes to life on Christmas Eve and wages a battle against the evil Mouse King.

There is certainly something for everyone to enjoy. You don’t want to miss this beautiful production that is the perfect family event to add to your calendar this holiday season!
