Ballet Rhode Island presents The Nutcracker, a holiday production choreographed by resident choreographer Yury Yanowsky, drawing more than 15,000 fans each year. The production follows Clara on her journey from a festive Christmas Eve celebration to the Land of Sweets, featuring toy soldiers, snowflakes, and Tchaikovsky's score. Ballet RI's professional company artists perform alongside young performers from across Southern New England. The production has been a Rhode Island holiday tradition since the company's very first season nearly 50 years ago, founded by Winthrop Corey and Christine Hennessy.
