EMERSON, N.J. - eMusicWire -- With a full orchestra and a cast of nearly 50 dancers, Ballet Arts and Adelphi Orchestra are partnering to present "The Nutcracker" at River Dell High School on December 9th and 10th. This year marks the second time Ballet Arts, one of New York and New Jersey's premiere ballet schools, and Adelphi Orchestra, a professional, non-profit orchestra, bring live music to this classic holiday ballet.
"The Nutcracker" unfolds on Christmas Eve, as a young girl named Clara is given a magical Nutcracker doll that transports her and her brother Franz on a fantastical journey through a magical land of sweets. There they encounter spirited characters including a beautiful snow queen, waltzing flowers, dancing marzipan, and a Sugar-Plum fairy.
The upcoming performances promise to bring new delights. Aarón De Jesús Marquez, from Veracruz, Mexico, who is a student at the prestigious American Ballet Theatre Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School will dance the role of the Nutcracker Prince in the Saturday shows. The renowned Dr. Sandra Dackow, who serves as Music Director of both the Hershey Symphony Orchestra and William Paterson University Symphony Orchestra will conduct the orchestra. Many of the adults in the first Act's party scene are former professional dancers who are accompanied by adult students and parents.
