ʻAʻole i piha ka hola hoʻomaha ma Houston me ka hanaʻole o ka Nutcracker Houston Ballet. Ma hope o ka hoʻokōʻiaʻana e ka Hoola Houston no nā makahiki he nui, hōʻike ka Nutracker i ka hola hoʻomaha ma Houston. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, i loko o nā makahiki i hala aku i kahi miliona mau kānaka iʻike i ka Nutcracker e like me ke kauoha a ka mea Hoʻohanohano Hoʻohanohanoʻo Houston Ballet Ben Stevenson. E hoʻomaka ana i ka 2016, hoʻomaka ka Houston Ballet i ka Nutcracker i kohoʻia e ka mea hoʻokaniʻo Art Stanton Welch.
E like me ka Stevenson o mua, uaʻoluʻoluʻiaʻo Welch's Nutcracker a ua hele maikaʻiʻia. I kēia lā, ua mālamaʻia ka poʻe i ka moʻolelo kuʻuna, nā pūʻali a me nā hoʻonohonoho likeʻole Clara, King Rat, Sugar Plum Fairy, ka'āina o Snow, a me ke Aupuni Hoʻoweheʻe, akā me nā pūʻali hou, ka animation a me ke choreography, ka hoʻokumuʻana i ka Ballet. "ʻO ka 2016 Nutcracker e hoʻomaka iā Noemapa 25 a holo i ka lā 27 o Dekemaba.ʻO nā mea VIP e loaʻa ana no nā wāhine i ka lā 26 o Nowemapa a me Dekemaba 22, 23, 24, 26 a no nā hana ahiahi i ka lā Nov. 25, 26 a me Dec. 10, 22, 23. Ua hanaʻia nā hana a pau ma ka Wortham Center. Pono nā kime o The Nutcracker e ho'āʻo eʻike i ka hana a kēia makahiki ae lilo i waena o ka mua e nānā i ka version Welch o The Nutcracker.
Mamua o ka weheʻana i ka Nutcracker i kēlā me kēia makahiki, hoʻomaka ka Houston Ballet i kānaʻoihana hoʻonui kālā nui loa -ʻO ka Nutcracker Market.
ʻO kēia hana kaulana loa, i mālamaʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki mai ka makahiki 1981, e huki ana i nā tausani o nā malihini kipa i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ke kākoʻo nei o Houston Ballet iā Preston Frazier,ʻO ka Nutcracker Market e ho'āla ana i ke kālā no ke kālāʻo Houston Ballet's Academy a Scholarship Fund. Aia ma mua o ka 100,000 mau kānaka i komo i nā puka pā i kēlā me kēia makahiki a lilo i nā miliona miliona ma nā hale kokoke 300 a me ka honua i hoʻonohonohoʻia i keʻano kūʻaiʻoihana alanui ma NRG Center.
Hiki i nā malihini ke hele aku i ka Nutcracker Market ke kali i kekahi hanana kūʻaiʻoihana hoʻokahi. Ma mua iʻike muaʻia ma keʻano he wahi kūʻai kūʻai kumukūʻai o ke alanui Pākehā, ua uluʻo Nutcracker Market mai kahi lā kūʻai wikiwiki haʻahaʻa i kahi hoʻolālā kūʻaiʻahā lāhāhā nui e loaʻa ana he 280 mau hale kūʻai kūʻaiʻokoʻa. Hiki i nā poʻe malihini ke hele aku i ka Nutcracker Market keʻike i kahiʻano likeʻole o nā waiwai a me nā lawelawe, e like me nā mea hoʻonaninu, nā meaʻai kūikawā, nā lole, nā mea hana, nā mea waiwai, nā mea kanu, nā waiwai o ka home a me nā mea he nui aku.
Ma waho aʻe o ka Nutcracker Market pono'ī, aia kekahi mau hanana kūikawā e pili ana i ka Market, e like me ka Wells Fargo Preview Party, Saks Fifth Avenue Fashion Show a me ka Lunchon, Hōʻike Hōʻike a Macy a Brunch, a me ka Market Raffle. No laila, inā pahaʻoe he mea makemake i ka Nutcracker a makemakeʻole paha i kekahi mau mea hoʻonani a me nā makana no ka Mele Kalikimaka, kahi pilikino i ka Nutcracker Market kahi alaʻoluʻolu e lilo ai i hoʻokahi lā ma Houston i ka manawa hoʻomaha.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, no nā kānaka he nui,ʻo ka wā hoʻomaha no ka kūʻaiʻana - no lākou iho a me kekahi poʻe'ē aʻe. A, no ka mea,ʻo ka hoʻolālā kūʻai kumukūʻaiʻo Houston ka meaʻoi aku ma mua o ka Nutcracker Market wale nō. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua nuiʻo Houston kahi hoʻolālā kūʻai, me nā malls, nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale kūʻai ma ke kūlanakauhale a me nā wahi e pili ana i nā mea kūʻai likeʻole mai Black Friday ma ka New Year's Day.
ʻO kekahi o nā wahi kūʻaiʻoihana i kaulana a ma Houston pū kekahi me ka Galleria, Town Center a me mua Colony Mall ma Sugarland, Mall Mall a me Country, Katy Mills Mall, a me Memorial City Mall. ʻO ka Harwin Outlet Mall a me Houston Premium Outlets kekahi mau wahi kūʻai nui i nā lā hoʻomaha. A, ma kahi kaʻawale pokole mai Houston, e lawe aku i nā mea kūʻai i nā Waha Huʻi ma waena o Houston me Galveston, aiʻole, e hele ana ma kahiʻaoʻao'ē aʻe,ʻo ka Conlee Outlet Mall.
Ma waho o ke kūʻaiʻana a iʻole e hele ana i ka Nutcracker a me nā hanana e pili pū ana, e loaʻa ana i nā malihini ka nui o nā hanana lā hauʻoli, nā hanana, nā hihi a me nā kani i Houston. Hiki ke loaʻa nā hōʻailona māmā ma nā wahi o ka Mokupuni nuiʻo Houston. ʻO nā hanana hoʻolālā likeʻole e like me nā Zoo Lights ma ka Houston Zoo, nā Mālamalama Hōʻoluʻu Māmā ma ke Gulf Greyhound Park a me ka Hōʻailona Lā i Moody Gardens ma Galveston.
ʻO ka meaʻoiaʻiʻo, he mea ia e hoʻolālā ai,ʻaʻole wale ka hōʻikeʻana i nā kukui uila nui loa ma ka'āina, akā,ʻo ka holoʻana i nā holo a me nā pāʻani, nā hana hana ahupuaʻa a me nā meaʻoliʻoli'ē aʻe. Eia hou,ʻo ka hapanui o nā hapū o Houston he mau loina lōʻihi o ka hoʻolahaʻana i nā hōʻailona kukui nani. Ma waena o kekahi o nāʻike iʻike nuiʻia ma ka kaiāulu i loaʻa ma Houston,ʻo River Oaks, Prestonwood Forest, Woodland Heights, Shepherd Park, Candlelight Park, a me Highland Park. No ka poʻeʻikeʻole i ke kūlanakauhale aʻaʻole makemake e hakakā i nā kaʻa eʻike i nā kukui, hiki i ka Houston Wave nā mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ma ke kūlanakauhale.
ʻO kekahiʻoi aku punahele punahele ma ka mokuʻo Houston i ka wā hoʻomahaʻo ka holo hau. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, no ka huliau,ʻaʻole ka mea e like me ka mea i manaʻo nuiʻia e ka poʻe nui e hele ai ma Houston. Eia naʻe, he lima lima o nā mea malihini kipa o Houston i nā koho hoʻokele hau. ʻO ka'ōmole hauʻoli a me ka maikaʻi kaulana loa o ka hau hau i Houston e waihoʻia ana ma loko o ka Galleria Mall. Eia naʻe, e loaʻa ana ka holo moana ma Memorial City Mall a ma ka Aerodrome Ice Skating Complex. ʻO ka hanana holokino holoʻokoʻa nui loa ma Houston,ʻo ka Discoking Green kahi e holo ai i waho ma waho,ʻo ka nui o ka holoʻana i waho ma waho o ka Southwestern United States.
ʻO kaʻai likeʻana i kaʻai me kaʻohana, kahi mahele nui nui o ka hola hoʻomaha. A no lailaʻaʻole pono ia mau meaʻai a pau i ka "home cooked." No ia mea,ʻo Houston kahi home o nā haleʻaina nui e hoʻolaha ana i nā malihini i kahi mau koho no kaʻaʻaiʻana me nā hoaaloha a me kaʻohana - heʻano maoli kēlāʻano o ka meaʻai a me kaʻano o ka meaʻai eʻai ai kahi mea makemake loa. ʻO kekahi o nā hale kaulana i loaʻa ma ka Bayou City,ʻo Goode Company Barbecue,ʻo Gatlin's Barbecue,ʻo Rainbow Lodge, Magnolia Bar & Grill,ʻo Morton's Steak House, Old San Francisco Steak House, Le Mistral, Grotto Ristorante, a Michelangelo Italian Restaurant.
ʻO ka mea e loaʻa iā ia iho ma Houston i nā lā hoʻomaha, makemake pahaʻoe e hele i kahi huakaʻi hele i kekahi o nā wahi he nui e hele mai ana mai Texas mai. ʻO Clear Lake, Galveston a me Kemah kekahi mau lā i hele nuiʻia mai Houston, no ka mea, kokoke kokoke i nā Texas Texas Park Park kahi e holo pono ana i ke kūlanakauhale.
