A Southwest Nutcracker

Tchaikovsky's classic holiday ballet The Nutcracker is translated to the Tucson of the 1880s for Tucson Regional Ballet's special presentation of A Southwest Nutcracker. The ballet retains the story and magical elements of the original, but brings the tale to territorial Arizona, where coyotes, rattlesnakes, and a Western cavalry take center state. The ballet, which is presented at the Tucson Convention Center Music Hall, also features the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Professionally designed sets and stunning costumes make this an annual Tucson holiday experience to share with the family. A Southwest Nutcracker offers a new way to experience a holiday classic.
