THE GAYANEH DANCE SCHOOL PRESENTS THE NUTCRACKER
Organized
by: Hamazkayin Art Schools
The Synopsis of Tchaikovsky's Renowned 'Nutcracker'
Ballet
An enchanting escapade for all
family members as we enter the Magical Christmas season bringing to stage the
highlights of not only Tchaikovsky’s most famous work but also one of the most loved
and mesmerizing of classical ballets. The well-known Christmas ballet, based on
E.T.A. Hoffman’s 1816 fairy tale from the Nutcracker and the Mouse King, was
first premiered in 1892 and ever since, it became one of the most
frequently performed ballets in the world.
On December 13 and 14, around 50 ballet
dancers, aged from 6 to 18 from the Gayaneh Dance School and Knar Dance Group
Soloists of Hamazkayin and choreographed by the prima ballerina Jacqueline
Sarkhoshian, will bring Nutcracker to life with exquisite dancing and
beautiful sets.
On a sparkling Christmas Eve in a
frost-dusted Edwardian London, Clara, a little girl receives an enchanted
wooden Nutcracker doll as a present from her godfather Drosselmeyer. Her brother
Fritz, however, becomes jealous and breaks the
toy. Clara is heartbroken. Her Godfather magically repairs the doll
and Clara carefully places it underneath the Christmas
tree.
As Clara sleeps and dreams, the
magic begins. Everything under the tree seems to come to life. Clara is
awakened by a group of mice as they enter the room, led by an evil Mouse King.
She tries to escape, but the
Nutcracker springs to life with an army of toy soldiers. They defend Clara by
battling the Mouse King and his army. When the Nutcracker appears to be
struggling, Clara tosses her slipper at the Mouse King, knocking him down and
defeating him. Magically, the Nutcracker transforms into a handsome prince. The
prince invites Clara to join him on a journey to the Land of Sweets. Together,
they discover a magical world...
The Nutcracker
is a magical and timeless story of adventure and imagination! It is produced to
be a special treat for children, adults and all ballet lovers!
