Southeastern Trust presents Chattanooga Ballet's The Nutcracker featuring the professional company, the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra performing live, and students from Chattanooga Ballet's School and the region. Join Clara, a young girl at her parent's holiday party, who is gifted a Nutcracker doll from her godfather, Drosselmeyer. This begins a magical journey from the battlefield with the Rat King, through the Land of Snow to the Land of Sweets. See the amazing dolls that come to life, the mice as they scurry around and the beautiful snow as it flurries across the stage. Experience the fun as children dance at the party, the fear as the Nutcracker begins to fall at the hands of the Rat King and the joy of all the sweets gathered to celebrate their young heroine! This is a story of youth and bravery, and one the entire family will enjoy. Chattanooga Ballet invites you to experience Chattanooga's most beloved holiday tradition, The Nutcracker!
