The Nutcracker show will have four performances at the Eugene O’Neill Theater of the Costa Rican-North American Cultural Center. The Nutcracker has become a Christmas tradition; full of magic and illusion, but also with a lot of history.
Based on the story by E.T.A. Hoffman: “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,” this ballet consists of two acts and four scenes, and premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in 1890 with the wonderful music of P.I. Tchaikovsky.
For 28 years, Estudio Danza Libre – Ballet de Costa Rica has staged this work, allowing them to accumulate experience and knowledge under the direction of Juan José Jiménez. In this production, around 60 people are involved on stage, including children studying classical ballet, actors, and the Costa Rican Ballet cast.
