Nutcracker ballet comes
to Blyth Festival stage
JLYTH - Every 'year when the
Christmas season rolls around,
thousands of children and their par-
-eats flock to the Lincoln Centre in
•New York City, the Kirov Theatre
in St. Petersburg, Russia and Co-
-Neat Garden in London, England to
'see "The Nutcracker," probably the
roost popular of all ballets with
both young and old.
But local audiences don't have to
travel to another country to experi-
ence a live performance of this be-
loved ballet because soon it will be
,as close as the Blyth Festival stage.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, De-
cember 10 and 11, the Ontario Bal-
let Theatre will present three per-
formances of The Nutcracker at
Blyth Memorial Community Hall.
• Beginning in 1980, the Ontario
Ballet Theatre pioneered taking bal-
let to the people - an exciting new
aspect of dance in Canada. Found-
ed by Artistic Director Sarah Lock-
ett, this unique dance company has
achieved tremendous audience sup-
port.
"The Nutcracker" made its debut
in Russia in 1892. It followed
"Swan Lake" and "Sleeping Beau-
ty" to complete Tchaikovsky's tril-
ogy of symphonic ballet scores.
The scenario for the ballet was de-
veloped from The Nutcracker and
the King of the Mice, one of the
fantastic fairy tales of German
writer E.T.A. Hoffman. Hoffman's
tale was transformed into fantasy
for the ballet stage. Set on Christ-
mas Eve, the leading character is
that of a little girl named Masha
who goes on an exciting dreamlike
adventure where toys come alive
and a nutcracker doll is trans-
formed into a handsome prince.
"The Nutcracker" is a great way
to start the holiday season. Perfor-
mances will be held at 8 p.m. De-
cember 10 and 11 with i matinee at
1 p.m. on December 11. Tickets are
$25 for adults and $12 for children
12 and under and can be purchased
by calling the Blyth Festival Box
Office (519) 523-9300
