The dancers were beautifully graceful, the sets, backdrops and costumes were beautiful and eye-catching, and I totally enjoyed seeing the Oklahoma City Ballet’s 2020 production of “The Nutcracker” recently.
The show opened over the weekend at the Civic Center Music Hall and continues through Dec. 20.
In addition to the enjoyable performance, what made me happy was seeing an event live, in the theater, even though it was a shortened performance (no intermission) and with socially distanced seating and masks, including on the ballet dancers. I cannot say enough about our amazing local groups that are doing their best to find ways to entertain and delight us in this extremely challenging year, and the OKC Ballet does a remarkable job of this, too. Congratulations to the entire group for pulling this off, including Artistic Director Robert Mills, the show’s choreographer.
