Hoffmann in 1816. The first American production of The Nutcracker ballet was staged in 1944 by the San Francisco Ballet. Ten years later, the great choreographer George Balanchine introduced his famous production of The Nutcracker at New York City Ballet, a staging largely responsible for the ballet becoming part of the Christmas tradition in the United States. Act I Herr Stahlbaum, his wife Frau Stahlbaum and their children, Clara and Fritz, have invited guests to their home for a Christmas Eve party. One of the guests is Drosselmeyer, an old friend of the family who is also Fritz and Clara’s uncle. Scene I The guests are happily dancing when Drosselmeyer arrives. He brings gifts for the children, including magical dolls. He presents Clara with a Nutcracker and amuses the children with magic tricks. Scene II Night has arrived, and the guests have departed. Clara puts her Nutcracker in its sleigh under the Christmas tree, and she goes to bed. Later, she comes downstairs to visit the Nutcracker and falls asleep by the sleigh. At midnight, Drosselmeyer’s magic begins, and Clara’s dream starts. An army of Mice and Rats, led by their King, enter the room, creating chaos and spreading fear. The Nutcracker summons the armies of Toy Soldiers, and the battle begins. Clara distracts the Rat King by throwing her shoe. The Nutcracker kills the Rat King, breaks the spell, and is transformed back into a handsome Prince. The Prince invites Clara to accompany him to the Land of Sweets. Scene III Clara and the Prince begin their magical journey in the sailing sleigh, passing through the enchanted snow forest with beautiful dancing Snowflakes. Act II Clara and the Prince arrive in the enchanted Land of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy reigns. They are greeted by performers from all over the world who dance for Clara: Chocolate from Spain, Coffee from Arabia, Tea from China, Candy Canes from Russia, Marzipan from Belgium, and a sleighful of Bon Bons from France. The Dew Drop and beautiful Flowers dance for her. Lastly, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier dance the Grand Pas de Deux in Clara’s honor. 6 the Cast Act I - Scene I - The Stahlbaum Home Yevgeni Anfinogenov Herr Stahlbaum Frau Stahlbaum Sarah Marr Clara Nadia Primer (Evenings), Alyssa Sartuche (Matinees) Fritz Mason Thames Grandmother Lea Zablocki Grandfather Charles Primer Great Aunt Whitney Hart Governess Zoey Steck Guest Parents Olivia Byatt, Madison Clement, Caradee Cline, Gracie Comtois, Kirsten Conrad, Emily Gnatt, Ann Elise Richards, Ema Watanabe, Kate Woods, Tomas Lopez, Thaddeus Morris, Roberto Riesco, Mike Payer, Derar Suliman, Brooke Thames, Sasha Prikhodko Guest Children Lauren Bassett, Anthony Dalmolin, Natalie Dow, Raelynn Espinoza, Alyssa Flores, Joseph Gallo, Jackson Keller, Carli Medina, Kaitlyn Osburn, Jose Ramirez Drosselmeyer Antonio Arrebola Nephew Roman Mejia Dolls Emma Garrison, Isabella Mejia (Evenings), Halle Bauer, Anna Payer (Matinees) Scene II - The Battle Little Mice Amirah Abdellaoui, Lizzie Anderson, Mylah Baumeister, Emma Bueso, Bori Choi, Elissa Foerster, Yuna Kim, Lorelei Lux-Hall, Lainey Mayes, Caroline Mendoza, Annalise Robson, Madeline Ursprung, Kaylee Weaver 7 the Cast Big Mice Samantha Ayala, Daniela Bueso, Rowan Casillas, Rachel Clear, Taraja Hudson, Kayleigh White Old Rats Whitney Hart, Lea Zablocki, Thaddeus Morris, Mike Payer, Derar Suliman Nutcracker Prince Roman Mejia Nutcracker Guards Payton Primer, Nadia Primer (Matinees), Alyssa Sartuche (Evenings) Soldiers Anzleigh Bryant, DiLauren Childs, Malia Cox, Emma Foerster, Cassidy Fosbenner, Emily Fosbenner, Rubie Frazier, Ashtyn Graham, Rachel Hancock, Ainsley Holeman, Alexandra Holeman, Briana Lezzana, Rosslan Morris, Leah Parker, Emi Ramirez, Megan Suwal, Colleen Treadway, Eva Vescio Rat King Thaddeus Morris Rat King Guards Gracie Comtois, Ann Elise Richards, Zoey Steck, Olivia Byatt Scene III - Snow Madison Clement, Caradee Cline, Kirsten Conrad, Emma Garrison, Yuka Fujitani, Emily Gnatt, Marina Goshko, Whitney Hart, Kate Kenworthy, Eleni Loving, Sarah Marr, Arika Shio, Yuki Takahashi, Ema Watanabe, Kate Woods, Lea Zablocki Intermission Act II - Kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy Sugar Plum Fairy Olga Pavlova Prince and Cavalier Yevgeni Anfinogenov Attendants Virginia Dockery, Ashtyn Graham Angels Daisy Agueros, Serena Alcoser-Venegas, Ryleigh Barnes, Kerany Barrera, Boyeon Choi, Ashlyn Darilek, Sarah Joy Dudley, Emily Gallo, Sierra Gray, Serenity Hatton, Hannah Jones, Sabrina Lux-Hall, Beya Marin, Natalie Mendoza, Jessica Nicholson, 8 the Cast Angels, cont.

Artistic Director and Choreographer Paul Mejia is a former New York City Ballet dancer who danced the principal roles in many of George Balanchine’s ballets. He began choreographing at the early age of 14 under the encouragement and tutelage of George Balanchine. After a tenure throughout Europe, where he choreographed his first world premieres, he was invited to Guatemala, where he premiered his acclaimed Romeo and Juliet. Mejia joined Chicago City Ballet in 1980, as co-artistic director with Maria Tallchief. During the following seven years, he created 15 new ballets, including his full-length version of Cinderella, which toured internationally to great acclaim. His ballet, Eight by Adler, set to music by the late Richard Adler, was broadcast by PBS, winning an Emmy Award for its principal performer, Suzanne Farrell. In 1984, Esquire Magazine named him one of its “Outstanding Americans Under 40.” Dedicated to the artistic vision and philosophy of choreographer George Balanchine, Paul Mejia choreographed The Nutcracker in 1988 when he was the artistic director of the Fort Worth Dallas Ballet, now named Texas Ballet Theater. Mejia’s work has been acclaimed throughout the world and is currently being staged in some of the most renowned theaters, such as The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and The New Opera House in Moscow. Lighting Designer and Director Tony Tucci is the recipient of the B. Iden Payne Award for lighting (Gypsy). His works include American Ballet Theatre’s Configurations (choreographed by Choo San Goh with Mikhail Baryshnikov), Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre’s Carmina Burana, the video Baryshnikov: The Dancer and the Dance, and works by Cynthia Gregory, Fernando Bujones and Suzanne Farrell. For the 1996 Summer Olympics, Tucci designed lighting for the Cultural Olympiad, which showcased six national and international companies. Internationally, he has designed lighting for many prestigious dance and ballet companies. He has been designing the lighting for most of Paul Mejia’s choreography for the last three decades. 11 principal dancers Olga Pavlova is hailed as “The new Pavlova” in Dance Magazine, referring to the famous Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova.
