Saturday Matinee
Houston Repertoire Ballet's The Nutcracker, Northwest Harris County's favorite family holiday tradition, has been entertaining the young and the young-at-heart each holiday season since 1998. Treat your family and friends to the memories and magic of Houston Repertoire Ballet's dazzling full-scale Nutcracker! Created by HRB Artistic Director Victoria Vittum and Founding Director Gilbert Rome, The Nutcracker's brilliant blend of costumes, sets and choreography creates a magical storybook world enjoyed by children and adults alike.
The 2016 production features as guest artists HRB Alumna Elizabeth Keller, Justin Hughes, and Andrew Taft, all of Ballet Idaho. Also, the Cypress Philharmonic returns under the leadership of music director Glynnes Lanthier to perform Tchaikovsky's original score for the ballet. With a cast of more than 100 HRB dancers and area children, HRB's masterful production is the highlight of the holidays!
