Boulder Ballet's production of The Nutcracker combines traditional classical style with new characters, circus arts, and unique special effects. The choreography is meant to visualize Tchaikovsky's beautiful score in a way that is both classical and relevant to today's audiences. While many productions downplay the story of Clara (sometimes known as Marie) and focus instead on abstract dance, Boulder Ballet's production follows Clara as she grows from child to adult during the course of a dream, and Clara herself is involved in much of the dancing that happens around her. Clara is truly the center of the ballet.
