A sold-out season!!
NUTCRACKER was presented December 2020 at the Theatre Royal Nelson.
A team of professional creatives produced a spectacular, entertaining Nutcracker with wonderful dancing by professionals brought in from all over Aotearoa.
A delightful miniature clockwork set was manipulated by the mysterious Drosselmeyer and projected onscreen.
This huge collaboration of talent - with local artists, cultural communities, dance studios, professional and student dancers - proved to be hugely popular with enthusiastic local audiences.
Nutcracker 2021 was a wonderful end to the year.
We saw the return of Tabitha Dombroski at the Sugar Plum Fairy with Callum Phipps as her Cavalier, Roger Sanders reprised his role as Herr Drosselmeyer, Leonora Voigtlander danced the Dew Fairy in Waltz of the Flowers and made a stunning Snake in the Arabian. Markham Phillips returned as the scary Rat King, and young local dancer, Jade Talbot, danced the role of Clara, with Freddy Griffiths appearing as the Nutcracker Prince.
Producer Kim Bailey was organising behind the scenes, and JR Richardson at VenueTech made magic with lights and sound. Lee Woodman who was our Stage Manager, brought out his miniature set-in-a-box with a fresh look and new clockwork additions.
Thank you to Nelson City Council, all the volunteers and parents, to the super adult cast, and to lovely young dancers who appeared onstage in their various roles.
