Eastern Connecticut Ballet presents: The Nutcracker

When the curtain rises, professionally trained Eastern Connecticut Ballet dancers and guest artists  Unity Phelan  and  Indiana Woodward  of  New York City Ballet  share the spotlight in this nautical-themed live performance of “The Nutcracker.” Set in New London in the 1850s, the scenery celebrates southeastern Connecticut’s seafaring past and transforms the stage into a wintry day in the whaling city. Stage sets display tall ships in port, the New London Custom House, Whale Oil Row, lighthouses, and a sea captain’s Victorian home.

​

​

Tchaikovsky’s  celebrated music carries the audience through an enchanting journey as Clara and her new friend, the Nutcracker, travel through a magical world of Arctic ice fields where whaling ships once ventured on harrowing voyages!
