Northeast Ballet returns!

The Nutcracker is one of the Christmas season's most iconic stories, a tale of adventure and magic, and a favorite among audiences young and old. With over 100 performers, glittering sets and costumes, and beautiful choreography set to Tchaikovsky's evocative score, this is one Christmas outing the whole family will love!

What is the story?

One snowy Christmas Eve, at a great townhouse where a party is in full swing, local magician Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker for Clara, the oldest child. When the clock strikes twelve an adventure begins and the Nutcracker comes to life, leading our heroine Clara into a war between mice and tin soldiers, and into the enchanted Land of Sweets where a festival awaits them.
