‘Tis the season for The Nutcracker! For three weeks, and in true holiday fashion, the Joffrey Ballet is lighting up the Lyric Opera House with its local twist on a classic tale. The show is set on Christmas Eve, months before the opening of Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair. It features dazzling cultural performances, a visit from the mysterious Great Impresario and the magical adventures of the Nutcracker Prince and Marie, the young girl protagonist. The Reset team watched the show on opening night and sat down with the head of the ballet company Greg Cameron to learn more about the production.
