Atlanta Ballet The Nutcracker Tickets

People all over the world are familiar with the Nutcracker, a denizen of the worlds of fantasy. The Nutcracker is amongst the world’s most popular fairy tales. The Atlanta Ballet has recreated the story of the Nutcracker into the form of a ballet – a story told not in words or by speech but by pure action – action that takes the form of ballet dancing. The ballet itself is made up of highly advanced choreographed moves done by the fabled John McFall. In fact, the Nutcracker has been around for half a century and has repeatedly enthralled audience with its marvelous performances and highly entertaining experience. You can too have this enthralling experience by purchasing Atlanta Ballet: The Nutcracker tickets.The Nutcracker itself is a story that is highly entertaining. It is a story whose venue is St. Petersburg, capital of present day Russia, a century ago. It is made up of two different acts. In the first act,  a toymaker who is rather ingenious and makes ‘magical’ toys is preparing and wrapping up toys he has created for the Petrov family. His name is Drosselmeyer. He takes these toys to the Petrov family’s home and on his way he passes a magical clock, an artefact for which he is responsible, and this clock chimes and reveals three ‘magical’ images – a nutcracker, a ballerina and a Rat King (a terrifying one, at that!).The toymaker reaches the Petrov home and then hands out the various toys that he has created for the children. He gives a nutcracker, a beautifully crafted one, to Marya Petrov and Nicholas, Marya’s brother, receives a ‘rat’s head’ as a toy. Nicholas, Marya’s brother, takes his rat’s head and smashes the Nutcracker – breaking it. The toymaker then starts ‘weaving’ his magic – and this is when the true story, the journey begins. Nicholas is going around the house and looking for the Nutcracker. He discovers the toymaker, Drosselmeyer, who intentionally leaves behind his magical sack filled with a rat’s cape and a sword – Nicholas discovers them and wears them. He now turns into a rat and begins what is to be a ‘great’ battle.Marya, our main star and the heroine of our story, comes to the rescue of the Nutcracker who has been captured by the Rat King, battles with the Rat King and slays him – thereby rescuing the Rat King. Nicholas, as the battle ends, realizes that conflict is only a path towards ‘darkness’ – he understands that his sister, Marya’s, support and love to him is what matters most.  
The choreographer of this fabulous performance is none other than John McFall. He has been with the Atlanta Ballet for around 15 years as of date and has helped guide the Atlanta Ballet towards establishing itself as one of the foremost dance companies within the US. He has infused imagination and innovation with theatrical performance so much so that audiences are left inspired and amazed by the performances choreographed by John McFall and the Atlanta Ballet. And what makes his work even more amazing is the fact that he collaborates with such acts as The Michael O'Neal Singers, Indigo Girls, Newbirth Missionary Baptist Church and the Red Clay Ramblers – collaborations that result in an amalgam of creativity that gives birth to highly vibrant performances, performances that are truly out of this world. In fact, not only has John McFall proved to be a great choreographer and a connector of creativity but he has also helped establish the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education through which numerous dances are able to train and get a taste of fabulous dancing. In fact, many of the professional dancers that make up the Atlanta Ballet are products of this centre side by side with professional dancers who are graduates of other, prominent dance institutions. A result of all of this? A company that is amongst the best in dance, a choreographer second to none and an amalgam of creativity; the perfect ingredients for the recipe that is a perfect a performance, a performance more than worthy of Atlanta Ballet: The Nutcracker tickets.
