MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Flamenco Nutcracker will return to the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Dec. 6, marking its sixth year.

The production, created in 2020 with support from Bader Philanthropies, the Milwaukee Arts Board and the Wisconsin Arts Board, combines Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic with flamenco dance and music. Two shows are scheduled that day.

This year’s lineup features Latin Grammy-nominated guitarist Andrés Vadin of Havana, Grammy-winning percussionist Diego Alvarez of Venezuela and flamenco singer José Cortés. Manuel Gutierrez of Córdoba, Spain, will reprise his role as the Matador Prince. The performance is directed by Kerensa DeMars.

Tickets will be available starting Monday, Sept. 15. More details can be found by clicking here.
