Cracking open a classic
It's no surprise this time of year to see a performance of the Nutcracker listed on the calendar. Don’t forget that Toledo has the longest-running annual production of the holiday classic in the entire country (now in its 72nd year!). The Toledo Symphony again joins with the Toledo Ballet to present Tchaikovsky's beloved masterpiece, transporting young and old viewers to a delightfully sinister and ultimately magical holiday dreamworld. For many people, it's the first (or perhaps the only) ballet they ever see. But even if you've seen it dozens of times it still has the power to move hearts.
$21-$51. Saturday, December 15, 2pm & 7pm; Sunday, December 16, 2pm. Stranahan Theater. 4645 Heatherdowns Blvd. 419-381-8851. www.toledoballet.net. —MD
