About the event
This visually stunning rendition of the classic holiday tale features everything audiences love about "The Nutcracker Ballet,” including familiar characters and magical scenery, plus a few unique elements.
With top-notch dancing, elaborate handmade costumes and props, hand-painted backdrops, and support from an international production team, the show is quickly becoming an annual favorite among Brevard residents.
Here’s what a few past reviewers have said:
- “The quality is unmatched in Melbourne”
- “As good as any big city production”
- "This show should be on broadway"
The entire project is based on Artistic Director Elena Shokhina’s vision to create a high-caliber production using dancers from the youth company – which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as the associate production company of Brevard Ballet Academy – along with academy students and visiting professional dancers.
Elena's exceptional leadership comes from years of training at the world-famous Vaganova Ballet Academy in Russia and her 16-year career as a principal dancer in both the United States and Russia.
Come see the magic for yourself!
