'The Art Deco Nutcracker' at A&A Ballet

"The electricity of his work echoes with audiences of all ages." (The Huffington Post)

Set in 1920s America, “The Art Deco Nutcracker,” has quickly become a beloved performance of a holiday classic reimagined. This December, A&A Ballet welcomes The Trinity Irish Dancers, who join the cast for the first time.

The vibrant “roaring” era costumes and stunning choreography directed by Alexei Kremnev offers a new approach to the story we all know and love with the historic Tchaikovsky score known around the world.

The best young talent is on display with an international, multicultural cast, and International Top Awards winners. Renowned dancer Alexei Kremnev is at the helm as Drosselmeyer and Mother Ginger will be played by two-time EMMY-winning television personality Jane Monzures Clauss.

Ballet company, A&A Ballet, was founded in 2016 by Alexei Kremnev and Anna Reznik. Both are distinguished dancers with experience as Artistic Directors at the Joffrey Ballet Academy and the Joffrey Studio Company. “The Art Deco Nutcracker” is Kremnev's 11 full-length ballet. His work has been presented at the world-renowned Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Lincoln Center in New York, and the Opernhaus Zurich in Switzerland, among other prestigious venues across the globe. Both Kremnev and Reznik have been recognized as Influential People in the Arts in Cincinnati and have received multiple awards for their leadership.
