Festival Ballet Albuquerque presents an original production, Nutcracker in the Land of Enchantment. The beloved holiday classic is transported to territorial New Mexico in the late 1800s, with added elements of the state’s heritage and traditions including Spanish dancers with Flamenco, southwestern snakes, sheep and shepherdesses, a lively fandango, a storyteller doll with children, and lavish western Victorian-era costumes.

The 14th anniversary year includes Zozobra, in a production showcasing New Mexico heritage and traditions while maintaining the classical grace and family appeal of its origins. A live orchestra performs under the baton of Maestro Guillermo Figueroa, former music director of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, currently with Santa Fe Symphony, and an internationally renowned conductor and violinist who was a 2012 Latin GRAMMY nominee.

$16, $25, $35, $45, & $55.00 w/ discounts for seniors, children 10 years old and younger and NHCC member
