Michigan's first ever strolling Nutcracker is heading into its ninth season and will be performed by members of the Southeastern Michigan Classical Ballet at The Whitney Mansion in Detroit.
The "Strolling" Nutcracker will be performed inside the mansion and will move with the audience from room to room as the holiday classic unfolds.
It is a unique performance and to date is the only ballet of its kind to be performed inside a mansion. The Southeastern Michigan Classical Ballet will be performing the Ballet November 14th and 15th, 2023 for four performances inside the great estate. Please see our CONTACT PAGE for tickets and show times.
The audience actually feels as if they're part of the production as they watch the story of Clara and her beloved Nutcracker come to life. Audience members will move with the performers from room to room inside the grandiose mansion as each scene of the Nutcracker is performed. Each room is elaborately decorated in true holiday fashion.
Instead of back drops and grand sets, the mansion serves as a natural backdrop to the ballet. Costumes are authentic and were made in England and are in the true Victorian fashion.
No details were spared when planning the performance inside the mansion. It is an intimate setting, under 50 tickets per show are sold, so it sells out quickly.
