Every year the show is so unique and we get to experience the energy and enthusiasm of the live performance for those two magical days.  With the video, we continually strive to capture each moment in a format that will  last forever – So the memories stay fresh and the experience can be remembered.

If you’ve received your 2010 nutcracker movie, you’ve probably noticed that in addition to another year featuring our talented students and professionals, there’s the addition of  iconic imagery within the package design and opening title sequence often associated with this most famous story throughout its numerous iterations and appearances over the years.

The artwork was hand painted by Hedi Sidelinker using watercolors on textured paper, then the artwork was digitally scanned, separated into individual elements and animated by Dimitri Amaxas.  Both adding their creativity and insight to enhance this keepsake.

We hope you enjoy the piece as we already start the preparation for the coming year – the 30th anniversary performance, which will most certainly contain a number of surprises!
