I returned to the Aronoff to photograph the kids on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Portraits were made of each of the children in their costumes. Below are more candids I took of the kids backstage.
The kids killed time playing games.
A make-up artist prepared the kids for the stage.
The soldiers were waiting to be called out for the battle scene.
Cincinnati Ballet Nutcracker Kids
Cincinnati Ballet Nutcracker Kids
Children of the Otto M. Budig Academy of the Cincinnati Ballet have an opportunity each year to perform in the Ballet's yearly performance of the Nutcracker. This year I have the honor of photographing the Nutcracker kids. My first day with them was during a technical rehearsal, during which time I took a few candids of them hanging around backstage and during spacing (in a nutshell, being at the right place at the right time on stage).
For some of these kids, this was their first time on the big stage. Looks like they are oohing and ahing at the hugeness of it all. The stage, indeed, is quite impressive.
