The Nutcracker

Here are some classic and not-so-average performances you don’t want to miss this holiday season.

“A Night at the Ballet,” is a free streaming event that premieres on Thursday. The event, filmed in a small New York theater, will treat ballet-starved fans to dancers from America’s top companies performing excerpts of classical ballets like “Romeo and Juliet, “The Nutcracker” and “Don Quixote.”

This holiday season, fine art aficionados can enjoy a performance from the City Ballet of San Diego right from the comfort of their own homes.

With families wondering how they will celebrate the holidays during coronavirus shutdowns, the Hill-Stead Museum and Ballet Theatre Company have partnered to bring The Nutcracker to life with a costume exhibition and ballet performances in a life-sized snow globe.

NBC 7’s Audra Stafford has more details of the show.

The arts were one of the many victims of the coronavirus pandemic as performance after performance was canceled. However, rather than stay down this holiday season, one local production is adapting to deliver a drive-in ballet.

The coronavirus has hit one part of the arts and entertainment world especially hard, and that’s performances of “The Nutcracker.”
