TRUCE OF CAROLS is new opera based on the poignant\, true story of Christmas Eve 1914\, in the Belgian trenches of WWI. Michael Taylor has created a vibrantly beautiful new opera that envelopes us in that moment of time. AMAHL & the NIGHT VISITORS features 10 year old Ryan Nelson as the title character\, Amahl\; Margaret Lisi as his mother\; and Eric Coyne\, Martin Bell\, and Norm DeVol as the "Visitors" in this holiday tale of a young boy's stories that become a reality. The story of "TRUCE" began on Christmas Eve 1914\, when German troops began decorating the area around their trenches in the region of Ypres\, Belgium\, for Christmas. They placed candles on trees then continued the celebration by singing Christmas carols\, most notably Stille Nacht (Silent Night). The British troops in the trenches across from them responded by singing English carols. The two sides shouted Christmas greetings to each other. Soon thereafter\, visits across the "No Man's Land" took place where the soldiers exchanged small gifts of whisky\, jam\, cigars\, chocolate\, sometimes addresses\, and drank together. The artillery in the region fell silent that night. The truce also allowed burial parties a breathing spell to retrieve recently-fallen soldiers and bring them back behind their own lines. Proper burials took place as soldiers from both sides mourned the dead together and paid their respects\, in spite of opposition at higher levels of the military. The truce spread to other areas of the lines\, and there are many stories of soccer matches between the opposing forces. It lasted every where through Christmas night and in some areas\, continued until New Year's Day. TRUCE OF CAROLS artists include: Adam Flowers\, Benjamin Cohen\, C.A. Jordan\, Cliff Romig\, Dan Galpin\, Eric Coyne\, Erin Lahm\, Jeffrey Taylor\, Norm DeVol\, Robert Snedegar\, and Sascha Joggerst\, the Mission City Opera Orchestra and of course Michael Taylor. $15 - $45.

Featuring spectacular sets and beautifully costumed Russian dancers\, Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is an annual treat for the whole family. Whimsical and imaginative storytelling blends with the richness of Russian classical dance to make the Great Russian Nutcracker a unique performance not to be missed! Choreographer Emelianov has been praised by critics for its unique setting of Act II in the "Land of Peace and Harmony." To convey his message of peace\, Emelianov incorporates an ethereal dove that escorts Masha and the Prince to a land where there is no war or suffering. New for 2009 is a whimsical\, giant\, six-handed grandfather clock\, which signals the transition to the "Land of Peace and Harmony." Moscow Ballet continues its commitment to "Celebrating Children…The Arts Can Make a Difference.” Local children in each market will audition to appear with the 132 Russian dancers on the tours. Last year\, more than 6\,000 U.S. children performed the Great Russian Nutcracker with Moscow Ballet’s dancers\, as part of its educational outreach campaign. Set against Valentin Fedorov's spectacular scenic design\, with larger-than-life puppets and the backdrop of unicorns\, exotic birds and animals\, the Great Russian Nutcracker is a visual delight.
