The Ultimate Holiday Party
his year Charlotte Ballet’s Nutcracker has been made even more magical, with a million-dollar makeover of all new sets and costumes, made possible by a generous gift from the McColl family in honor of Jane Spratt McColl. To celebrate the new Nutcracker, presented by Bank of America, Charlotte Ballet is hosting a special opening night event, Night at the Nutcracker, on Dec. 2. The ultimate holiday party, Night at the Nutcracker features excerpts from Act I, including the enchanting party scene. With holiday party season upon us, Charlotte Ballet’s event planner, Emily Portal, has tips on how you can create your own ultimate holiday party. 1. Create Lasting Memories This time of year is about making memories, and 2016 is all about photo memories. A do-it-yourself photo booth for your holiday party is a fun way for your guests to leave with a memento from the evening. Nutcracker’s Snow Queen and King are ready for their photo op at the Night at the Nutcracker TapSnap photo booth. 2. Mix Up Your Menu Don’t be afraid to take a risk with your menu. A variety of small bites and a signature cocktail, like a salted caramel
eggnog, is a sure way to excite your guests. Need an idea? Night at the Nutcracker guests will enjoy caramel apple cookies with burnt bourbon ice cream sandwiches during the Land of Sweets reception. 3. Incorporate Variety One of the challenges of planning your own holiday party is providing entertainment for the entire group. Rave party reviews are dependent on a fun time had by all. A variety of activities ensure just that! At Night at the Nutcracker, adults will enjoy live entertainment and a gift-perfect silent auction, while children will enjoy their own activities in the Snowflake Village. 4. Give Back ’Tis the season to give back. Involve your favorite charitable organization at your holiday gathering by accepting donations or collecting items that are in critical need. Night at the Nutcracker event proceeds benefit scholarship opportunities for aspiring young Charlotte dancers. Experience the ultimate holiday party when you attend Night at the Nutcracker. Capacity is limited; reserve your tickets today! With its all new sets and costumes, don’t forget to secure your tickets to see the full Nutcracker production, Dec. 3-23 at Belk Theater.

Do You Hear What I Hear?
A
Opera Carolina continues a 20-year tradition of caroling all over the county
nyone who thinks opera is high-falutin’ should hear Opera Carolina’s chorus sing “Frosty the Snowman.” Charlotte-area residents will have multiple chances throughout December to hear members of the chorus sing favorite songs of the season. From sacred hymns to frolicking jingles, their repertoire is extensive. So is the geographical territory the group covers. The season kicked off in November at the Southern Christmas Show. December caroling begins with “Christmas in Davidson” and continues through the Dec. 15 visit to Levine Children’s Hospital. Including two performances in November, there are eight caroling concerts this season. “We sing all the standards,” said Alina MacNichol, Opera Carolina’s director of customer service and community engagement and a 15-year veteran of the chorus. “We do ‘Away in a Manger’; ‘Joy to
the World’; ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.’ We also sing international songs – like ‘Riu, Riu, Chiu’ (sung in Spanish), ‘Silent Night for all the World’ (which is sung in five languages), ‘Christos Yennate’ (Greek) and ‘Il est ne le divin enfant’ (French). We have a wide repertoire.” Secular music like “The Nutcracker Jingle” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” will be on some of the set lists, as is a jazzy “Jingle Bells.” The caroling group varies in size from 10 to 24, but it always comprises members of the chorus, which has more than 60 voices, and resident company. It’s hard to know who loves this holiday tradition more – audiences or carolers. “It’s a wonderful way to share our love for all types of music,” MacNichol said. “We think it’s particularly important now to communicate the spirit of hope and unity across cultures, in light of the unrest the community has experienced recently.”
