Pacific Northwest Ballet: The Nutcracker
Showing: 26th, 27th, 28th November
The brilliant result of close collaboration between PNB Founding Artistic Director and choreographer Kent Stowell and renowned children's book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, Nutcracker premiered to national acclaim in December 1983. Drawing on E.T.A. Hoffman's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, Stowell and Sendak delved deeply into the original story and infused the ballet with a drama and strength that fully complements Tchaikovsky's classic score.
"Hair band devotees rejoice: The anthems of the '80s are back. Rock of Ages features the hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar and many more so dust off the leather jacket and get ready to rock at the Paramount Theatre this February."
