American Repertory Ballet returns this fall with a dazzling triple-bill. The program opens with an ARB premiere, Spring Waters, a pas de deux of boundless joy, choreographed by Asaf Messerer. Next is Kirk Peterson's The Eyes that Gently Touch, set to the driving rhythms of Philip Glass' Mad Rush, culminating in a dance replete of romance and thrilling movement. The performance concludes with another company premiere: Peterson's Carmen. Based on Georges Bizet's opera, Peterson tells the tale of Carmen, a passionate, free-spirited woman, the fickle Don José, and her love triangle between Don José and popular bullfighter Escamillo.

American Repertory Ballet brings the beloved classic Nutcracker to the stage with Tchaikovsky's magnificent score, thrilling choreography and a cast of more than 100. A holiday tradition for more than 50 years (1964), American Repertory Ballet's Nutcracker is one of the longest, continuously running Nutcracker productions in the nation. Directed by Artistic Director Douglas Martin, ARB's professional company will be joined by select students from Princeton Ballet School to tell the story of a young girl named Clara and how a mysterious gift from her Uncle Drosselmeyer brings about enchanted dreams and fantastical scenes. American Repertory Ballet's Nutcracker is a perfect holiday treat for your entire family!
