On December
19th and 20th, 2009,
world renowned ballet stars and principals of New
York City Ballet, will be starring as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Her
Cavalier in
the Vicky Simegiatos Dance Company’s production of The Nutcracker, a
full
length classical ballet. In recent years, the VSDC
has shared the stage with guest artists Maria Kowroski, Jenifer Ringer,
Charles
Askegard and Jared Angle.
Brooklyn families and theatre
lovers will delight
in this timeless ballet production, which will take place at the Richard Perry Theatre on the
grounds of Poly Prep Country Day School in Bay Ridge.
The
Nutcracker remains as a classic and beautiful story about the joy of
Christmas,
the love of family and friends, and the great fun of lavish
parties. But
it resonates with everyone in that it reminds us of the wonder,
mischief,
dreams, and imagination that still reside within the child in each of
us.
Given the lush and familiar Tchaikovsky score, the magnificent and
humorous classical
choreography, the thrill of witnessing the wonderful talent of our
community’s
young dancers, and the intimacy of the neighborhood theatre, the VSDCs
production promises fabulous entertainment for children and
theatre-goers of
all ages. As one audience member commented, "I've seen your
production many times, and find that it consistently surpasses other
professional productions in its intimacy and spirit. It is truly
magical."
Do not miss
this
opportunity of a lifetime to experience
the magic that will result when world famous ballet stars perform
alongside the
stars of our community ballet company, within the beautiful setting of
the Richard Perry Theatre.
The Vicky Simegiatos Performing Arts Center, in business
for over 35 years with studios at three locations in Brooklyn, is the home of the
Vicky
Simegiatos Dance Company. Photos
