For the fifteenth year, in a wonderful custom that celebrates the
beginning of the holiday season, the Malta Ballet Company (a
not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating young children and
adults in the arts) will take the stage of The Egg for performances of
"The Nutcracker" on Friday, December 4 (10:30 am and 12:15 pm) and
Saturday, December 5 (2:30 and 7:30 p.m.).
"The Nutcracker" is a timeless magical classic that has been loved by all ages for generations. The Malta Ballet Company's young performers will delight and dazzle you with a wide array of talents and bright, grandiose costumes.
At Saturday's performances, another tradition is renewed as once again special guests from the NYC Ballet Company will dance along with the young performers, which will elevate this production to much more than you would expect for a traditional Nutcracker performance. NYC Ballet's Rebecca Krohn will charm you as the Sugar Plum Fairy, and you'll be spellbound as Amar Ramasar dances as her Cavalier.
"The Nutcracker" performers include gymnasts who magically come alive as dolls and rats, and soldiers who tap dance with spectacular sounds. Joseph the Magician will mystify you with his magic, and you will watch the Silberhaus's tree grow before your very eyes. The Choir sings joyous songs of the holiday season. You will witness ballerinas so elegant, they will entice snowflakes to fall from the sky, and angels with wings and candle lights will fly. As you enter the land of sweets, you will watch as delicacies from around the world come alive to excite and entertain. Traditional dances of Spain, Russia, the Netherlands, China and Arabia will be performed, as well as the Malta Ballet Company's exclusive dances from Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Hungary, and Italy.
This is an opportunity to observe the great George Balanchine's original variations of the graceful Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, as performed by Ms. Krohn and Mr. Ramasar.
As always, there will be a special appearance by Santa and his reindeer.
A special school rate of $8.50 per seat for schools, organizations and general public with The Malta Ballet Company on Friday, December 4 at 10:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. This presentation sells out very quickly, so schools and organizations are encouraged to reserve their place now by calling The Malta Ballet Co. at (518) 899-6664.
