About this event
Celebrate American Repertory Ballet’s annual Nutcracker tradition with your family! FEATURING A LIVE ORCHESTRA AND CHOIR! Bring the entire family to experience the joy and celebration of this holiday tradition and make memories to last a lifetime—featuring thrilling choreography, Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, a cast of more than 100 dancers, and ARB’s only area performances with a live orchestra and choir! This holiday favorite tells the magical story of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they battle larger-than-life mice alongside toy soldiers, and travel through a whirlwind of dancing snowflakes to the Land of Sweets. A tradition for more than 60 years, ARB’s The Nutcracker is one of the longest continuously running Nutcracker productions in the nation.
