a word from
It is with a sense of great excitement and anticipation that I welcome you to Miami City Ballet’s
2013-2014 season.
It’s really hard to believe that an entire year has passed since my arrival last fall! This one-year
milestone is cause for reflection, so I’d like to share with you some of my thoughts.
Before I arrived, I was certainly well aware of Miami City Ballet and its position as one America’s
most important ballet companies. But what I didn’t, or couldn’t, know before diving in here was
how deeply I would fall in love with this remarkable company and its wonderfully individual,
brilliant dancers, its talented staff and the three South Florida communities that we call home.
As I began teaching, rehearsing and coaching our dancers one-on-one, I experienced their passion
for this extraordinary art form. This passion was made clear through their relentless work ethic,
artistic curiosity and willingness to stretch, try new things and take risks. And I sensed their
heartfelt commitment to you, our audience, to do their absolute best to move you, entertain you
and connect with you in a meaningful way. They inspire me, as I know they will inspire you
this season.
For our part, we are committed to bringing you the best choreographers and their work,
performing at the outermost limits of our abilities and being an accessible cultural resource for our
communities to experience first-hand and take pride in. We are here for you and because of you,
so it’s my hope that you will feel a sense of ownership in “your company,” and take pleasure in
getting to know our dancers.
To this end, and alongside our dancers, I invite you to take a journey of discovery this season.
I encourage you to join us at all of our programs. There is so much to savor and enjoy. There is
Jardí Tancat by the great Spanish contemporary choreographer, Nacho Duato; Polyphonia, our
second work by the much-admired British choreographer, Christopher Wheeldon; Episodes,
a Balanchine masterwork of astonishing modernity; Chutes and Ladders, a mainstage premiere
from Justin Peck, an exciting young talent emerging from the ranks of New York City Ballet;
and finally, the rousing and romantic West Side Story Suite by Jerome Robbins.
These diverse works are alive in the here and now. They are of today, which makes them
meaningful to us. And these works that we experience today hold within them our past,
while pointing us toward our future.
Please join us!
Warmly,
Lourdes Lopez, Artistic Director

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
As a young girl growing up in New York, the holiday season was a magical time of year for me.
The highlight of the season was always going to see The Nutcracker. It was a family tradition then,
and remains one for me now, as it does for so many others.
Miami City Ballet is not only one of the world’s great ballet companies, but we are also one of the
very few that performs this version of The Nutcracker, choreographed by George Balanchine. We
are so proud to share it with you today. This production has it all: astonishing sets and costumes,
a huge cast of 100 (including dozens of talented young dancers who receive training at Miami City
Ballet’s acclaimed school), and E.T.A. Hoffman’s romantic and heartwarming story. But even more
than that, it features some of the most beautiful dancing ever choreographed, set to Tchaikovsky’s
perfect score. And, of course, we enjoy all of this thanks to our outstanding MCB dancers.
On behalf of Miami City Ballet’s Board of Trustees, I wish you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.
I hope this performance of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™ gives you and your loved ones
as much joy as it gives me, and that you will continue to make this one of your holiday traditions.
Happy Holidays!
Susan D. Kronick, Chairman, Board of Governors
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
As the pace of today’s culture seems to increase by the minute, certain traditions – like enjoying
a performance of The Nutcracker – have become even more meaningful to me and my family. We
live in an age of technological marvels, but one in which we seem to have less and less time to do
those things that mean the most. Watching The Nutcracker not only gives me that glow of holiday
spirit, but it also reminds me that some things – like the joy that comes from family, friends, and
watching our children grow – will never change.
It was The Nutcracker that introduced me to the astonishing art form of ballet. I will never forget
the first time I saw the tree grow, or the snow fall onstage, or experienced such an incredibly
beautiful relationship between music and movement. If this is your first time enjoying this magical
piece, or your hundredth, I hope it has as much meaning to you as it does to me.
Watching this production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™ reminds me of the things for
which I am deeply thankful. I have so much gratitude to our dancers and the artistic team – so
gracefully led by Lourdes Lopez – who give their all to create these unforgettable performances. I
am also so grateful to my dedicated colleagues, to our Board of Trustees, and to everyone who has
purchased tickets and made donations which allow us to bring this program to you today. At this
time of year, if you are able to make a special contribution of any amount, I ask that you consider
doing so. You can do this by visiting our friendly staff in the lobby, or online at your convenience.
You can also consider giving the gift of ballet – subscriptions for the remainder of our season cost
as little as $17. Your support will keep this beautiful tradition of The Nutcracker going strong for
generations to come.
Thank you. May you have a wonderful holiday season, and a very Happy New Year!

Considered one of George Balanchine’s
signature works, Concerto Barocco
is set to Bach’s glorious Double
Violin Concerto in D minor. Leading
contemporary choreographer Nacho
Duato’s Jardí Tancat, based on Catalan
folk songs, is lyrical, soulful and
profoundly Spanish. Created for Miami
City Ballet by visionary choreographer
Alexei Ratmansky, the dramatic,
fast-paced Symphonic Dances — set
to Sergei Rachmaninoff’s powerful
score — is back by popular demand.
Following the sold-out, one-night-only
April 2013 World Premiere, Chutes
and Ladders — by up-and-coming
choreographer Justin Peck — makes
its mainstage debut as an apt addition
to this musically-driven program.

ACT I: Scene I
It is Christmas eve. A blanket of snow covers the city of
Nuremberg, and a bright Christmas star glows in the sky.
As George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™ opens, Dr. and Frau
Stahlbaum add last minute decorations to the magnificent tree in their
living room. Their children, Marie and Fritz, are in the drawing room,
playing and waiting for family and friends to arrive. When they do, the
parents are the first to gather in the living room. They call the children
in and watch their excited reactions to the tree and the fancy wrapped
gifts surrounding it. The tree is a marvel, with branches full of sugar plum
candies, wooden toys, sparkling candles, and marzipan animals.
The children have to wait for Fritz and Marie’s grandparents to arrive
before gifts will be distributed, so they go back to play. Dr. Stahlbaum
starts them off, leading the boys in a military march around the room.
That turns into a dance for the children and Frau Stahlbaum, with the
fathers joining in.
When the Stahlbaum grandparents arrive, the adults toast the
elders and then – finally – give the children their gifts. The presents are
traditional, and very much appreciated: beautiful dolls for the girls, and toy
bugles and drums for the boys.
In the midst of the excitement, the grandfather clock begins to chime
and startles the children. A mysterious-looking man enters the room,
cloaked in an enormous black cape and top hat, and wearing a black
patch over one eye.

Oh, it’s only Herr Drosselmeier! He’s an inventor, a magician, and
Marie’s godfather. Tonight he has brought more than his usual array of
strange gadgets – with him is his handsome young nephew. Marie seems
bashful when they are introduced, but she keeps her eye on the princely
boy after she runs back to her mother.
Noticing her shyness, Herr Drosselmeier pulls a fascinating little watch
from his pocket. (Besides inventing gadgets and toys, Drosselmeier also
fixes clocks.) He leads Marie to the Stahlbaum’s grandfather clock, which
he synchronizes to the watch. Marie grabs the watch out of his hands and
runs to show it to her friends, who then pester the inventor.
The children eventually quiet down after Drosselmeier performs a magic
trick for them, which is just the beginning of his “show.” To the party he
has brought three large gift boxes, tied with satin bows. From the first
two, he and his nephew remove life-sized dancing dolls, Harlequin and
Columbine. The third box yields a toy soldier, who thrills everyone with
his military maneuvers.
Once the dolls are returned to their boxes, Drosselmeier brings out
more gifts for Marie. The first is a hobby-horse, which becomes the center
of a struggle between Marie and her brother, won by Fritz. Drosselmeier
organizes a tug-of-war to try to smooth things over (silly Drosselmeier!),
and then unveils his final gift for Marie.
The gift is a charming wooden doll with big expressive eyes, a
fuzzy white beard, and a special talent for cracking nuts. Drosselmeier
demonstrates its abilities before giving the Nutcracker to Marie. As she
admires the Nutcracker’s dashing uniform, the very jealous Fritz pulls the
wooden figure away. He runs across the room, throws the Nutcracker to
the floor, and stomps on it!
Drosselmeier scolds Fritz and then tries to comfort Marie. He carefully
wraps the Nutcracker’s now-broken jaw with his handkerchief, and returns
the doll to the heartbroken little girl. Her friends cluster around her, and
Drosselmeier’s nephew presents Marie with a special bed for the injured
Nutcracker.
The boys return one last time to disrupt the girls, but their play ends
when Dr. Stahlbaum invites everyone to dance a final dance of the
evening, in tribute to Fritz and Marie’s grandparents.
When the dance ends, the guests bid farewell
and the children reluctantly leave. Marie
and the nephew are the last to say
goodbye: they reach toward each
other, but Herr Drosselmeier and
Frau Stahlbaum separate the pair.
Her mother sends Marie upstairs
and turns out the lights. As
midnight draws near, only the
sweet sounds of a violin are heard,
floating through the darkened house.
ACT I
Scene
ACT I:iiScene iI
The excitement of the evening has been too much for
Marie, who is unable to fall asleep.
She sneaks downstairs to visit her beloved Nutcracker and finally falls
asleep on the couch with the doll clutched to her heart. Within moments,
a dark shadow – Drosselmeier – crosses the room. He looks for the
Nutcracker in the special bed, but it’s not there. He notices Marie on the
couch and moves to her side. Drosselmeier loosens the Nutcracker from
her grasp, waves his hands as if performing more magic to repair the doll,
then carefully replaces the Nutcracker beside her.
All of a sudden, the lights flicker and wake a startled Marie. She sees
Drosselmeier, perched on top of the grandfather clock! She runs to hide
behind the Christmas tree but a huge, ragged-looking mouse enters the
room and frightens her terribly! Marie dodges the mouse, but another
mouse follows, jumping past Marie’s head. A third comes and a fourth!
As she backs away, the room starts to spin. The Christmas tree
trembles and starts to grow. Life-sized soldiers appear, and then a rabbit,
21
a sentry, and a bugler emerge from the shadows. Marie runs to protect
her Nutcracker and manages to place him safely in his bed at the foot of
the tree. She looks up to the tree for reassurance but it, too, continues
to change, growing bigger and bigger. Glancing back, she sees that the
Nutcracker’s toy bed has been replaced by one that is human-sized,
and the Nutcracker in it is larger than she!
The toy sentry sends a warning shot at the return of a mouse, to
no avail: an entire army of mice soon appears! With a toot on
his horn, the bugler calls the toy soldiers to war. Led by the
sentry and the rabbit drummer, the soldiers look to Marie for
a command. She points them toward the mice, then wakes
the Nutcracker so he can assume command of his troops. The
Nutcracker leads charge after charge. He orders his troops to
fire the cannon but it doesn’t shoot a cannonball...it shoots
cheese, and the mice grab the food and return to fight. The
Nutcracker organizes one last charge into the heart of the army
but the mice surround the soldiers and carry them all away – all
but the Nutcracker and the rabbit.
Without warning, the King of the Mice appears, jumping toward
Marie. He’s an ugly fellow with a crown on his head. Drawing his saber,
the Nutcracker protects Marie but the Mouse King returns the attack,
swinging a gigantic sword of his own. The Nutcracker jumps on the
creature’s back but is thrown off and trapped on the ground by the Mouse
King’s sword. From behind, the rabbit pulls the Mouse King’s tail, causing
the royal mouse to about-face. The Mouse King draws his sword but
misses the rabbit, striking his own tail instead.
Thankful for the rabbit’s diversion and back on his feet, the Nutcracker
returns to battle the Mouse King but is again driven down. In desperation,
Marie throws her slipper at the evil rodent. He turns and chases her to
the Nutcracker’s bed where she then faints, frightened by the pursuit.
Her brave act has saved the Nutcracker, who pushes his sword through
the Mouse King’s heart. As the wicked brute lies dead on the floor, the
Nutcracker cuts off the king’s crown and walks to the bed where Marie
now sleeps.

The Nutcracker beckons Marie’s bed to follow him
on a journey.
Moving on its own, the bed transports the sleeping Marie into another
world, where the Nutcracker is magically transformed into a prince. He
wakes Marie and presents her with the crown he captured in battle.
Together, they behold a breathtaking scene, a winter forest come to life
in a sparkling dance of snowflakes. They pass through the flurry and begin
their journey to the Land of the Sweets. As they walk, Marie notices that
the Prince bears a striking resemblance to Drosselmeier’s nephew.

join her.
Marie and the Prince come upon the gathering, and are warmly greeted.
The Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes them to the Land of the Sweets and
invites the Prince to tell his tale. He describes the battle: how the toy
soldiers fought the mice, and how he accepted the Mouse King’s challenge
to fight for Marie’s safety. Finally, he tells of how Marie saved his life.
The Sugar Plum Fairy is impressed by their courage. She praises the
Prince and his Princess, and then leads them to a special throne, specially
set to give them the best view of the celebration, which is about to begin.
It’s a celebration of things delicious! Sumptuous Spanish Hot Chocolate

Marzipan Shepherdesses remind Marie of the decorations on her Christmas

Next, a beautiful group of dancing flowers, a whirl of brilliant orange,
magenta, and green, make their entrance. Marie and the Prince taste sugar
petals while the honey Dewdrop spins through the blooms in the Waltz of
the Flowers.
Now comes the time when the Sugar Plum Fairy, in a golden tutu,
is escorted by her Cavalier to perform for her guests. They begin their
classical pas de deux with soft adagio movements, and build to an exciting
crescendo. Holding hands, Marie and the Prince are overwhelmed, hoping
someday to dance as magically as that. Everyone joins in for a lively finale,
a blaze of color and celebration.
As the time to leave draws near, the Sugar Plum Fairy leads her
guests to a magic sleigh. The Prince and Princess wave goodbye
and are flown to where the moon meets the sun.
Daybreak awaits and Marie will soon wake.
It is Christmas Day.

LOURDES LOPEZ ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Lourdes Lopez became Artistic Director of Miami City Ballet in September
2012, bringing with her a nearly 40-year career in dance, television, teaching
and arts management. As a Soloist and Principal Dancer with New York City
Ballet, she danced for two legends of the art form, George Balanchine and
Jerome Robbins. She is also Director of Morphoses, a New York-based dance
company she co-founded in 2007 with Christopher Wheeldon, aiming to
revitalize dance through innovative collaborations with important artists from
the worlds of music, visual arts, design, film and fashion; and by inviting
younger and broader audiences to engage in and actively experience dance.
Lopez was born in Havana, Cuba in 1958 and raised in Miami by her parents along with two sisters.
She began taking ballet lessons at the age of five, on the recommendation of a doctor, and went to
New York at the age of ten on a full scholarship to the Joffrey School. Lopez continued her training
in Miami and at the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet. At
fourteen, she moved to New York permanently to devote herself to full-time studies at SAB, and shortly
after her sixteenth birthday, joined the corps de ballet of New York City Ballet. Under the direction of
George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, her star rose quickly at New York City Ballet where she was
soon dancing leading corps and soloist roles in much of the company’s repertory. She was promoted
to Soloist in 1981 and Principal Dancer in 1984, performing countless leading roles for Balanchine
and Robbins. Lopez’s great interest in children also found her writing and contributing to many of the
company’s Family Matinee series.
Upon retirement, Lopez joined WNBC-TV in New York as a Cultural Arts reporter, writing and producing
feature segments on the arts, artists and arts education. She was also a full-time senior faculty
member and Director of Student Placement, Student Evaluation and Curriculum Planning at New York’s
Ballet Academy East. She served on the dance faculty of Barnard College and guest taught at numerous
dance institutions and festivals in the United States. In 2002, Lopez became the Executive Director
of The George Balanchine Foundation, which works to educate the public about dance and to further
the art of ballet, with a special emphasis on the work and achievements of George Balanchine. In
this position, she oversaw the 2004 Balanchine Centennial Celebration, a worldwide festival honoring
the choreographer and his legacy. Among the events that year was the symposium “Balanchine:
Past, Present and Future,” which was held in St. Petersburg, Russia, and which was a collaboration
among the Mariinsky Theater, the Hermitage Museum, and The George Balanchine Foundation. Lopez
also co-founded The Cuban Artists Fund, which supports Cuban and Cuban-American artists in their
endeavors. In 2007 she received an award from the American Immigration Law Foundation honoring
Cuban Americans for their accomplishments and contributions to American society and in 2011, she
received the prestigious Jerome Robbins Award for her years in dance. She has served as a dance
panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts. Lopez is married to investment banker George
Skouras, and they are the parents of two daughters: Adriel, a Yale University graduate and currently
Executive Assistant to the Editor in Chief at Vogue; and twelve-year-old Calliste.

A Story of Love in Exile
by
GIuSePPe
VerDI
Follow the plight of the Hebrews of Babylonia as they are assaulted, conquered,
and ultimately exiled from their homeland. Within this backdrop of exiles yearning
for their homeland is a love story, but can love flourish in such a place and time?
Bear witness to Verdi’s masterpiece – Nabucco – and hear the famous chorus,
Va pensiero, that will bring you to tears.

ALSO see TOSCA, starting MARCH 29, 2014
