Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker Prepares for Final Run With Choreographer, John McFall
After 22 years, choreographer and artistic director, John McFall, bids his final farewell with Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker.
…Choreographer John McFall’s beloved version of the magical holiday tale returns to the Fox Theatre for its final 24 performances from Friday, December 8 through Thursday, December 28. Atlanta Ballet Orchestra and the Georgia Youth Choir will perform live at all shows.
McFall created this signature production in 1995 to represent the culture of Atlanta.
What he created was a Nutcracker that, in his own words, was “traditional yet new, familiar yet different, classic yet contemporary and above all, magical.” For over two decades,Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker has become a holiday tradition shared and enjoyed by multiple generations.
New production of the historical event will start in 2018.
Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker will kick off artistic director Gennadi Nedvigin’s second season with the Company. “Over the last 22 years, McFall’s version has become synonymous with the holiday season in Atlanta, and Atlanta Ballet is proud to have brought joy to so many children and families through his magical choreography and fanciful characters,” says Nedvigin. “We are excited to celebrate the legacy of Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker with every performance throughout this final run.”
Atlantans can look forward to a fresh, new version of the holiday classic, featuring the choreography of Yuri Possokhov, resident choreographer with San Francisco Ballet, in December 2018.
