The Nutcracker
Dec. 4-5, 8 p.m. and Dec. 5-6, 2 p.m., Musical Arts Center, Bloomington -- This year's production will feature choreography created specifically for the Jacobs School of Music's dancers by Michael Vernon, chair of the Jacobs School Ballet Department, who continues to develop the production with new elements each year. The Nutcracker tells the story of young Clara, who receives a toy soldier nutcracker from her mysterious godfather, Herr Drosselmeyer. When she falls asleep with the Nutcracker in her arms and starts to dream, magical things begin to happen. The show is especially captivating for young audience members -- as well as those who enjoy classical ballet -- because of its beautiful music, fanciful costumes and dreamlike storyline.
