Pinkerton Ballet Theatre's 31st season of The Nutcracker Ballet featured at Carson City Community Center over Thanksgiving weekend
Are you dreaming of a far away place where snowflakes, bonbons and sugarplum fairies come to life? Pinkerton Ballet Theatre is pleased to present the 31st Anniversary of The Nutcracker Ballet featuring a live orchestra Thanksgiving weekend at the Carson City Community Center.
Performances will be Friday and Saturday, Nov. 29-30, 2019 at 7 p.m., and a matinee on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019 at 2 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center, Bob Boldrick Theater, 851 East William Street.
Enjoy a magical evening with professional dancers Erica Chipp-Adams and Oliver Adams, from Smuin Contemporary Ballet Company, who will return to inspire audiences as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier.
Also featured is Maykel Solas of the San Jose Ballet to dance his magnificent rendition of the Nutcracker. An audience favorite, the Russian dance will feature Armen Haggopian and Company.
“Watching Tristi McMaster, formally of Richmond Ballet, as the Sugar Plum Fairy when I was 7 years old inspired me to become a professional ballet dancer. I am thrilled to share my love of dance and choreography with Pinkerton Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker Ballet,” says Erica Chipp-Adams.
Of course, The Nutcracker Ballet would not be the same without the many local dance students, young and old, who have dedicated hundreds of hours to the production. Ayako Britt, artistic director of Pinkerton Ballet Theatre brought this holiday tradition to the Carson City Community 31 years ago with many families making this a regular holiday tradition.
