THE NUTCRACKER – A TALE FROM THE BAYOU
“The crown jewel of the holiday season.” – The Advocate
After 30 years of enchanting Baton Rouge audiences with the nationally-acclaimed holiday classic The Nutcracker A Tale From the Bayou, the show’s creators and original choreographers Molly Buchmann and Sharon Mathews have taken their final bow on The Nutcracker – A Tale From the Bayou set as Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre (BRBT) Artistic Directors. This much-beloved show continues on under the direction of Rebecca Mathews Acosta and Jonna Cox as BRBT’s new artistic directors.
The Nutcracker – A Tale from the Bayou enchants audiences every year with beautiful dancing, lush sets, and the live accompaniment of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra, David Torns, conductor. This year BRBT will welcome approximately 200 local student dancers from several parishes along with professional guest artists, Lindsey Donnell and Elias Re from the renowned Dance Theatre of Harlem! Audiences return year after year, making this one of the finest holiday traditions in the Baton Rouge area. Let this be your year to continue or begin a new family and friends tradition!
The non-profit BRBT has served Greater Baton Rouge for more than half of a century nurturing and training hundreds of award-winning dancers and choreographers under the artistic direction of Molly Buchmann and Sharon Mathews. With help from the community, BRBT continues to bring world-class professional touring companies to the Baton Rouge stage in addition to presenting Baton Rouge’s own pre-professional and professional dancers through multiple performances a year.
