WRAL, Carolina Ballet partner for 'Nutcracker' broadcast on Christmas
On Christmas Night, December 25, WRAL will broadcast an exclusive TV event: The Nutcracker, presented by PNC Bank and performed by the Carolina Ballet, the area's only professional ballet company.
Posted — UpdatedFor the first time ever, the two partners will work together on producing and broadcasting a one-of-a-kind version of this iconic ballet to homes across the region. By taking the wonder of The Nutcracker out of the theatre and into living rooms, new and more diverse audiences can travel with Clara to the Land of Sweets and get introduced to the Sugar Plum Fairy and Tchaikovsky’s world-renown score.
For the sixth year, PNC Bank returns as presenting sponsor. “Performances of The Nutcracker are synonymous with the holiday season, and bringing the Carolina Ballet’s production to Triangle families has become a PNC tradition,” said Jim Hansen, PNC regional president for Eastern Carolinas. “We look forward to helping deliver The Nutcracker to homes this December ― and reaching even more families ― as our gift to the community.”
