Information
This classic holiday fairy tale has come alive on stage at Stephens Auditorium each December since 1981. This annual Stephens Auditorium production features choreography by Iowa Youth Ballet choreographers with guest principal dancers choreographing their roles as Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier. More than 150 local dancers from surrounding central Iowa communities participate with guest principal dancers performing the roles of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. The Nutcracker Ballet tells the story of a young girl, a heroic prince, and the fantastic dream they share. From the opening party scene to the last tinkling notes of Tchaikovskys famous score, a festive holiday spirit permeates the entire performance.
