EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 The Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet is set to enchant audiences at The Plaza Theatre in El Paso on Dec. 23 and 24. <\/p>\n

This year’s production, part of the 33rd annual North American tour, promises a unique blend of classical ballet and avant-garde circus techniques. <\/p>\n

Ukrainian choreographer Viktor Davydiuk leads the innovative staging, which includes the “Doves of Peace” adagio and the introduction of the Herald, a Cyr Wheel artist. The performance features 10-foot-tall animal puppets by South African artist Roger Titley and a new character, Sweets the Dog, created by Barry Gordemer. <\/p>\n

Principal dancers from Ukraine’s opera houses, including Karyna Shatkovskaya, Elena Pechenyuk, and Ren Morioka, will reprise the role of Clara. <\/p>\n

Executive Producer Dan Talmi said, “With Viktor Davydiuk’s visionary choreography as our foundation, we’re integrating breathtaking acrobatic artistry and expanding on exciting family-friendly elements.” <\/p>\n
