Park City performers dance in The Nutcracker
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The classic The Nutcracker is back for another season of performances at the Capitol Theater December 4 – 26. The New York Times has called the Utah performance, “The best Nutcracker in the United States.”
Two ballerinas, members of Ballet West’s Park City Academy, will be dancing in this year’s shows. 13-year-old Skye Rolley has been cast in the role of a servant and 11-year-old Kate Stroud is a soldier. They’ll both be in the same cast performing December 17 – 21. Tickets may be purchased here.
Park City Ballet West Academy has recently moved to a new location and added new faces with industry-wide name recognition to both its administrative and teaching staff.
Park City stalwart, Beano Solomon told TownLift, “I think families will particularly enjoy the Nutcracker this year as they can finally get out as a family and do something special, enjoy their tradition, celebrate beauty together. Our culture would be nothing without the arts. They are enriching, uplifting and beautiful, mind-expanding, thrilling. For one, I would not have moved here if Salt Lake didn’t have a ballet and a symphony/opera. I am taking two children this week.”
