Ballet Melange presents The Nutcracker, a full length ballet performed in collaboration with Classical Ballet Academy. At the Stahlbaum’s Christmas eve celebration, Uncle Drosselmeyer’s gift of a Nutcracker doll to his niece Masha leads to an enchanted adventure involving first love, victorious battles, and a visit to the Land of the Sweets. This production is choreographed and staged by Elizabeth Shipiatsky, after Vainonen and Petipa, and features elaborate costumes from Russia and Ukraine and original projections designed specifically for Ballet Melange.

Ballet Melange is a registered Colorado 501(c)(3) not-for-profit professional ballet company and dance trainee program. Ballet Mélange facilitates the artistic growth of early career dancers while serving the public by increasing access to high quality dance performances, especially to those who do not have regular access to the arts. Ballet Melange’s productions are performed in collaboration with Classical Ballet Academy (CBA). CBA is a comprehensive dance training academy that provides the highest quality Vaganova curriculum – the technique developed and taught at Russia’s Imperial Ballet School (currently known as the Vaganova Ballet Academy) and the Mariinsky Theater.
