#BBNutcracker Mice taking a break at the #Chinatown /gfgQFyD7im

I wish I had been traveling on the Orange Line when they were hanging around Boston last December.

The Nutcracker Mice sure have attitude, let me tell you 🙂 They’re not mentioned by name in the program, but they did a great job. It was magical! And Petra Conti and Patrick Yocum were also fantastic as the Snow Queen and King. I don’t know much about theatre production, but whatever material was used during the Snow Scene looked like real snow, that started off slow and turned into a real snow storm by the end. To our friends near and far, wishing you & yours a very Merry Christmas! /0dIJQY4czK Some of my other favorites were: Snow Scene I loved Rachele Buriassi as the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Dusty Button as Dew Drop. Their dancing was so perfect and their jumps looked so effortless it seemed gravity does not apply to them.įederico Fresi with Andres Garcia and Ricardo Santos were also amazing as the Russian dancers, and I was of course captivated by Brittany Stone‘s and Junxiong Zhao‘s interpretation of the Arabian Dance (my favorite piece of music in the suite). When I asked her afterwards what her favorite part was, she said she couldn’t choose. My daughter was absolutely enchanted and paid attention the whole time. The dancers, the decorations, special effects, and music were all fantastic. The tickets we won through WBUR were very close to the stage, and we had a great view of the Boston Opera House’s great stage. Here’s what we did: Friday Evening – Boston Ballet’s The Nutcracker Since we live about an hour away from Boston, we could have gone home right after the performance, but I decided to turn this opportunity into a Fun Mother-Daughter December Weekend in Boston. This would be the first time she’d see the ballet at a professional stage, danced by professional dancers, with music played live by real orchestra. My daughter has seen local, small troupe ( Dance Prism) productions of the Nutcracker staged at our local high school. So happy to have won raffle tickets to #Nutcracker! THANKS & ! #girlsnightout #momgirltime /znFRPLFdY2 ( WBUR is a local National Public Radio station, my favorite station that I listen to every day.) This past December 2015, we were lucky to win two tickets to The Nutcracker through a WBUR raffle. Every December the Boston Ballet stages a production of The Nutcracker at the Boston Opera House. I know it’s a tradition for some families to see the performance every year, but I wasn’t sure whether taking my daughter to see it made sense, because I was afraid she wasn’t mature enough to sit through the two-hour performance.
