Nutcracker Sweets by Ballet Chesapeake @ Bel Air Armory
Dec 6 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Ballet Chesapeake will perform an abridged version of their complete professional staging of The Nutcracker ballet with intricate costumes and sets along with Tchaikovsky’s timeless score.

This version is child-friendly and includes live narration of the Nutcracker story to accompany dancers.

This special program serves to expose the very young to the wonder and enchantment of a ballet performance while teaching basic theater etiquette and table manners.

 

Following the performance, the children are led to a decorated tea party area for a formal tea of punch and snacks.

The dancers – still in costume – serve the tea while the Nutcracker interacts with the children.

Each child will have the chance for a photo with their favorite character and will leave with memories to last a lifetime!

Tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nutcracker-sweets-tickets-687166813437
