She will be presenting a specially staged version of The Nutcracker, by Peter I. Tchaikowsky, choreographed by Liliana Belfiore, accompanied by a cast of over 90 Argentine dancers, a Children´s Choir, and a live Orchestra, conducted by Carlos Calleja. 
In different auditions at dance schools in Buenos Aires and other Argentine provinces, teenage students have been selected for the roles of the Mice and Soldiers.
All the dance schools will also be invited to an open class before the show, starting at 5 pm.
