This holiday season, PBT will present a refreshed version of The Nutcracker, opening on November 30, 2024, at the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre. Under the guidance of returning ballet master Anatoly Panasyukov, who brings decades of experience and expertise, the production promises to enchant audiences with a blend of traditional charm and innovative storytelling.
Anatoly, a former principal dancer with the Bolshoi Theatre and a familiar name in the dance community, will take on the role of the mysterious Drosselmeyer. He joins a talented new cast, including Sarah-Filippa Belgica as Clara and Joanna Galeste as the Sugar Plum Fairy. With updated choreography by Artistic Director Ronilo Jaynario, this version of The Nutcracker is set to the timeless score of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and infused with a unique brand of storytelling that promises a feast for the senses.
As Clara embarks on her magical journey to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets, PBT’s The Nutcracker will weave a tale of adventure and wonder that captures the spirit of the season. Supported by Philippine Airlines as a primary partner, tickets for this enchanting production are available via Ticketworld and through the PBT Secretariat. Don’t miss the chance to experience this vibrant holiday spectacle, a perfect way to usher in the festivities!
