Broadcast on television by WRAL on Dec. 25 at 7pm
Grace, grandeur and mysterious illusions. Carolina Ballet's holiday classic is a can't-miss tradition for locals, visitors, families and friends. The only production in the country using illusions created by renowned magician Rick Thomas, The Nutcracker makes characters levitate, disappear and reappear before your eyes. Because The Nutcracker cannot be performed in front of a live audience this year, WRAL will film and broadcast a special performance of the event'€”it can be seen for free on Christmas day at 7pm. Encore showings are expected to be scheduled in the following days.
