Behind the Curtains
The magic begins Behind the Curtains...
Elementary, middle and high-school students are transported Behind the Curtains with a special performance of Madison Ballet's holiday classic - The Nutcracker. With a cast of over 175 dancers, sweeping music, elaborate sets, and magnificent costumes, The Nutcracker is the highlight of the holiday season.
The magic of the theater unfolds for students with a special Behind the Curtains presentation by Madison Ballet's Artistic Director, W. Earle Smith. A comprehensive curriculum packet, given to participating classroom teachers in advance, prepares students for their exciting adventure at the Overture Center.
Schools from throughout Dane and surrounding counties are invited to participate in this magical experience.
Be a part of the magic!
