Come enjoy the magic of the holiday season with American Repertory Ballet and students of ARB’s Princeton Ballet School. Whether it is your first ballet experience, or one of many, The Nutcracker will sweep you off your feet.

Hailed by The Philadelphia Inquirer as being “in a league with any of the great Beethoven pianists of our time,” Simone Dinnerstein will captivate you with her brilliance in Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto. Enjoy contrasts of mood and style with Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony and Schubert’s Fourth Symphony. The Prokofiev is full of youthful energy, mischief and humor, while the Schubert, subtitled “Tragic,” is a mature statement by the then-19-year-old composer that revels in its own contrasts between dark and light.
