Boston Ballet presents an original take on
The Nutcracker with
The Gift. Inspired by Duke Ellington’s “Nutcracker Suite,” seven Boston Ballet company dancers have choreographed unique dances set to Ellington’s jazzy score. The company prepared for this program for months dividing into small groups and hosting socially-distanced rehearsals over Zoom.
