The Brooklyn Nutcracker

Brooklyn Ballet's The Brooklyn Nutcracker William Miller

“Vivid and magical… a satisfyingly gorgeous and endearing production.” 
- Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times

The Brooklyn Nutcracker transforms familiar Nutcracker characters and scenes to represent the diverse traditions and vibrant culture of melting pot Brooklyn. Starting from the point of view of old Dutch Brooklyn and leading to our iconic Flatbush Avenue, the production is fresh and full of virtuosity—in essence, a Christmastime love letter to the borough we call home.

A re-imagined holiday classic, The Brooklyn Nutcracker fuses ballet, hip-hop and a myriad of world dance genres to create a new tradition for today’s audience.

ONE NIGHT ONLY
Friday, December 14 at 7:00pm

One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
