sandik Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yes, I know it isn't even Halloween yet, but nevertheless, here is an edited version of the first Nutcracker press release. Pacific Northwest Ballet presents Nutcracker THE NORTHWEST’s FAVORITE HOLIDAY TRADITION! Music: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky Choreography: Kent Stowell Scenic and Costume Design: Maurice Sendak Lighting Design: Randall G. Chiarelli Stowell/Sendak Premiere: December 13, 1983 November 26-December 27 2010 Marion Oliver McCaw Hall 321 Mercer Street, Seattle Center Seattle, WA 98109 SEATTLE, WA — Pacific Northwest Ballet can proudly lay claim to one of the world's most recognized and celebrated productions of Nutcracker, now celebrating its 28th season. The brilliant result of close collaboration between PNB Founding Artistic Director and choreographer Kent Stowell and renowned children's book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, Nutcracker premiered to national acclaim in December 1983. Drawing on E.T.A. Hoffman's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, Stowell and Sendak delved deeply into the original story and infused the ballet with a drama and strength that fully complements Tchaikovsky's classic score. The Northwest’s favorite family tradition returns to Seattle Center’s Marion Oliver McCaw Hall for 36 performances November 26 through December 27.
