For 61 years Boston Ballet has enchanted locals and tourists alike with magical performances. Staged inside the lavishly ornate Citizens Bank Opera House in Boston’s Theater District, Boston Ballet is the best place to watch the ballet in Boston.
Boston Ballet is known for its adaptation of the classical ballet, The Nutcracker, which begins after Thanksgiving and runs through New Year, every holiday season. But the enchantment continues beyond the spirited holidays.
You can find dancing, elaborate tutus, and beautiful storytelling at the ballet, year-round. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming shows you can’t miss!
