Theatre Review: ‘Cirque Nutcracker’ presented by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Troupe Vertigo
“Despite all these amazing performers, it’s little Clara who steals the show. She’s cute, she’s sassy, and she performs all of the incredible cirque-type moves just as well (or better) than the adult performers. She tumbles, does splits, and contorts her body so naturally. At one point, one of the performers puts a doll in seemingly impossible positions and Clara easily copies what the doll does. The best part is when she sets up a picnic and invites conductor, Jiannen Chang, over to share it with her. It was such a sweet, entertaining, and unexpected moment. “ 2025 Full Article
