A r, T t1a-Advocate, December 11, 1996 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 Page 11 STILL AVAILABLE Limited edition prints of town of Exeter Artist Shirley Perry GREAT GIFT IDEA Available at Perry Originals 483 Hain St. or ' 2 -1 2 No. 6 Iy ;, School House Gift Shoppe Handmade Crafts & Gifts 30%Off selected items Including handmade soaps, chocolate spoons, hot chocolate and more...
