Colorado Conservatory of Dance presents a streaming of The Nutcracker Sweet

In a time when many treasured traditions are threatened, many performing arts companies have been forced to cancel their holiday productions entirely, leaving families wondering how they
can even begin to capture the magic of the season amid such challenging conditions. In response and in defiance of everything that says "no," Colorado Conservatory of Dance has reimagined The Nutcracker and is bringing it to the screen as The Nutcracker Sweet! Viewers will be able to cuddle up with their loved ones around the television or other device as CCD streams a new version of the timeless classic--complete with smaller, socially-distanced cast and interactive moments for you to share delicious treats with characters from the ballet. The Nutcracker Sweet – a one-hour version of our family favorite with all the best, most critical selections. Every performance features world-class guest artists, interactive activities,
and fun for the whole family.

One of the most unique aspects of The Nutcracker Sweet will be audience members’ ability to buy specially-themed baskets of holiday treats along with their ticket/link purchase, then join in with cast members from the ballet during the streaming event to enjoy their goodies simultaneously with their favorite characters in
real time. This approach, according to Artistic Director Julia Wilkinson Manley, “allows our audience members—wherever they happen to be—to feel like they’re part of the action, and while we know it’s not an equal substitute for a live, in-person performance, we feel like it’s a great way to build a virtual community around this timeless family classic.”

Joined virtually by renowned professional guest artists John Lam and Nina Matiashvili of Boston Ballet and Chase O’Connell and Beckanne Sisk of Ballet West, the streaming performance is an intimate journey through the fantastical world of The Nutcracker as
seen through the eyes of young Clara. Patrons can take advantage of five streaming performances:
