This Month: The Nutcracker

Kick off the holiday season with a festive performance of the iconic Nutcracker performed by dancers from the New Bedford Ballet. The New Bedford Youth Ballet will be performing excerpts from The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is a classical ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and first performed in 1892. The ballet is based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 fairy tale the Nutcracker and the Mouse King. Founded in 1987, New Bedford Ballet Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote and present classical ballets, grant scholarships, and educate the public in the beauty of this performing art. Throughout the years, aided by financial support of the Foundation, thousands of area school children, community members, and senior citizens have enjoyed the opportunity to witness the splendor and beauty of live ballet.
