Illinois Libraries Present: Experience The Nutcracker at Home! Watch a Recording of the Famous Ballet (All Ages - Virtual Event)

REGISTRATION FULL

Enjoy a special pre-recorded performance of the Nutcracker ballet by the Royal Ballet! This recording is available on Dec. 16 and 17 only!

Our agreement with the distributor was for 3000 registrants, and as of Wednesday, Dec. 13, we are full. While we did not expect this positive response from the event, we are glad to see it on our first time trying out a screening.

Get in the spirit of the season with a recorded virtual performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker performed by the United Kingdom’s internationally renowned Royal Ballet. The ballet, a holiday staple for all ages, can be viewed on Saturday, Dec. 16, and Sunday, Dec. 17. Registrants will receive an email with a special link to the performance. 

With sumptuous period designs, spellbinding stage effects, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, the 2016 performance of The Nutcracker will enchant audiences of all ages. Performed by Britain's flagship ballet company, registrants can expect to see some of the most elite ballerinas in this performance.
