Washington Ballet, The Nutcracker

I'm certainly going to see The Nutcracker in Washington DC in December.

Why?

Because my eight-year-old grand-daughter (only recently arrived in the USA) has just heard that she has passed the tough auditions and has been cast as one of the 'adorable mice'.

"A holiday must-see full of magic and marvels. Septime Webre’s critically acclaimed The Nutcracker transports us back in time to historic Washington, DC and stars George Washington as the heroic Nutcracker. Full of swirling snowflakes, magnificent sets and costumes and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, the curtain rises and the stage bursts with waltzing cherry blossoms, dancing sugar plums and other enchanting adaptations that have made Webre’s Nutcracker a Washington tradition with raves from critics and sold-out crowds." Choreography – Septime Webre, Music - Tchaikovsky.

After this period of total isichia and erimia in an almost deserted mountain village in Epirus, I am looking forward to flying to the States. Back in the USA! (YouTube).
