The Nutcracker
New England Ballet Company presents its 22nd annual family
holiday classic, The Nutcracker, under the artistic direction of Kenneth
Hopkins and Karen Goodman. Clara's dream is brought to life in a large cast
production with exquisite costumes and dazzling choreography by Victor Trevino.
The cast consists of company dancers, students of New England Ballet School and
Betsy Ross School Magnet School. The moment the lights dim, the audience is
transported to a magical party scene filled with adorable children, marching
toy soldiers, a villainous Rat King and mischievous mice. Enter the Land of
Sweets through a breathtaking on-stage snowstorm led by the glamorous Snow
Queen. The Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier dance for Clara and the Nutcracker
Prince and welcome them into a fantasy world of waltzing Flowers, dancing
princesses from around the world. A
wonderful ballet for the entire family, Nutcracker is the perfect way to
introduce children to the magic and beauty of classical ballet.
