SAN ANTONIO – Dec. 18, 2020 – PRLog — These unprecedented times have forced nonprofits to get creative to continue to bring treasured traditions to life during the holiday season. Alamo City Performing Arts Association, Alamo City Dance Company in association with Symphony Viva is proud to announce the upcoming premiere of its first ever full-length film-only of The Nutcracker: A Dance-Film. This reimagined production, made possible through the generous support of Community First Health Plans, was filmed over the course of several weeks at some of San Antonio’s most beautiful spots, including the Witte Museum and the Southwest School of Art.
For 27 years, A.C.P.A.A.’s production of the Nutcracker ballet has thrilled and delighted San Antonio audiences, becoming a cherished holiday tradition for so many Texas families. Over the decades, thousands of local dancers have been joined on stage by professional guest artists from some of the finest ballet companies in the country.
“This year has taught us to pivot and like most non-profits we have been forced to review the way we impact our communities”
The film, starring the Alamo City Dance Company and the Symphony Viva, and professionally edited by Box Office Realty Services, will premiere on December 19th on alamocityarts.org. In addition, the film would be available through August 31, 2021 and the A.C.P.A.A. will provide the film gratis to non-profits and hospitals, to help make the holidays more joyful for their clients and patients.
