The Albany Berkshire Ballet (ABB) is bringing back its Annual Tour of the holiday classic The Nutcracker. Choreographed by ABB’s Artistic Director Madeline Cantarella Culpo, the production features lavish sets and scenery designed by Stockbridge native and renowned theater and movie set designer Carl Sprague, as well as costumes designed by Sam Meredith. In this performance, young local dance students will share the stage with professional ABB dancers, portraying special children’s roles. This year’s company includes International dancers as well as dancers from around the United States.
An annual favorite, the Albany Berkshire Ballet’s The Nutcracker tells the story of a young girl, Clara, and the magical dream she has one Christmas Eve. The adventures of Clara and the Nutcracker Prince come to life as they conquer the Mouse King in a mystical journey to The Land of Sweets, all set to Tchaikovsky’s glorious music.
