Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (PBT) is inviting audiences to a behind-the-scenes look at its all-new production of \u201cThe Nutcracker,\u201d which will premiere in December 2027.<\/p>\n
The event, \u201cFirst Look: The Nutcracker 2027,\u201d will be Dec. 7, at 7 pm at the Benedum Center.<\/p>\n
PBT Artistic Director Adam W. McKinney will offer a sneak peek at the making of the new ballet, from conceiving the storyline and determining the characters to creating the choreography and designing the costumes and scenery. \u201cFirst Look\u201d will also have a performance of one of the dances that will appear in the new production.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am extremely excited to unveil this first look at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre\u2019s upcoming new version of \u201cThe Nutcracker,\u201d McKinney said. \u201cAudiences will love the familiar traditional elements of \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d combined with fun, whimsy, and new local Pittsburgh connections in this 2027 version.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new version of \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d will succeed PBT\u2019s current production of Terrence S. Orr\u2019s \u201cThe Nutcracker,\u201d which will end its 25-year run in December. <\/p>\n
