Get in the Holiday Spirit with Boston Ballet’s ‘The Nutcracker’

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

Like most college students, finals probably don’t get you in the merry holiday spirit. However, Boston Ballet’s timeless performance of The Nutcracker is just as magical now as it was when you were a child, and it’s sure to get you in the festive spirit. With over 300 dancers beautifully choreographed and a stunning forty-three foot tall tree, the production is sure to please audiences of all ages. 

“Whether they’re seeing it again or for the first time, The Nutcracker inspires and delights audiences of all ages with its beloved score, exquisite sets and costumes, and spectacular dancing,” says Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen. “It is the cornerstone of classical ballet and the perfect way to start an exploration into the art of ballet and dance.”

Between the charming live orchestra, festive decorations, admirable choreography, and dancing teddy bear, The Nutcracker is perfect for a date night or girls night in the city. The show is running now through New Year’s Eve, with tickets starting at just $35!
