Play me a Story...The Nutcracker

A magical, musical Christmas treat for the whole family.​

​

Featuring Lisa Stewart and Esmeralda Tintner, violins, flamenco dancer Ana Interiano as ‘Chocolate’, ballet dancer Perry Scott as ‘Coffee’, and Lulu Liu on pipa (Chinese lute) as ‘Tea’.

​

‘Play me a Story…The Nutcracker’ combines exquisite violin playing, storytelling, illustrations, ballet and flamenco to tell the much loved story of a tender hearted little girl, Marie, and her favourite toy, a wooden Nutcracker carved to look like a soldier. Nobody else wanted such a funny looking toy, but Marie loves her Nutcracker doll with all her heart, all the more so, since nobody else loves him…

 

Christmas Eve is a time when magic can happen – but the most magical thing of all, is love…

​

‘Play me a Story…The Nutcracker’ is full of all the things that children love – magic, dancing, delicious food…and above all, the beautiful music.

 

Playing at the Sydney Opera House, Utzon Room, 23 and 24 December 2017.
