Mark Foehringer's Nutcracker Sweets is a unique 50-minute version of the Nutcracker specifically designed for families with young children. Since its inception in 2008, Mark Foehringer's Nutcracker Sweets has become an annual holiday tradition for many Bay Area families, as well as those who started attending as kids and now return as teens and young adults.
The production includes new choreography, scenic elements, costumes, and a scene where it snows on the audience. There is also a live 9-piece chamber orchestra with Keisuke Nakagoshi (San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Opera Parallele) as the pit conductor. Former ODC dancer Brian Fisher serves as the rehearsal director and artistic associate.
Cast Members include:
Carlos Venturo (Director of School Programming, ODC) as Drosselmeyer
Vincent Chavez (Oakland Ballet, Robert Moses' KIN) as the Nutcracker
Theresa Knudson (Ballet 22) as Clara
LizAnne Roman Roberts (FACT/SF) as Sugar Plum Fairy
The Tchaikovsky score for the production was originally re-orchestrated by the late Maestro Michael Morgan of Oakland Symphony Orchestra; set design by Peter Crompton; costume design by Richard Battle; and production and projection design by Frederic O. Boulay.
$23.50-$59.50.
