Dance Alive National Ballet will bring sugar plum fairies back to Gainesville with its socially distanced production of “The Nutcracker.”
The company’s 54th annual performance of Tchaikovsky’s two-act ballet will feature limited seating, and masks will be required for performers and audience members inside the venue, said Judy Skinner, the company’s resident choreographer. The Phillips Center for the Performing Arts holds 1,700 people but will only fill 400 seats to allow for social distancing. There will be no intermission during the show.
