*Urban Nutcracker Streams Online This Holiday Season*

    About this Event

Anthony Williams' Urban Nutcracker, the modern Boston-centric holiday 
classic produced by City Ballet of Boston, moves online for 2020. 
Special this year, Urban Nutcracker offers a stream of the recording of 
their 2019 production to audiences!

A true Boston story, local dance legend Tony Williams reimagined the 
classic holiday tale to become a Boston inner-city story with a 
neon-buzz, blending the rhythms of Duke Ellington with the classical 
music of Tchaikovsky.

The streaming performances, November 28—December 24, 2020, showcase 
winter scenes set in present-day downtown Boston, blending the rhythms 
of Duke Ellington with the classical music of Tchaikovsky. Anchored by 
classical ballet, the performances also include a broad range of dance 
forms such as tap, hip-hop, flamenco, and jazz, accompanied by a small 
orchestra of local musicians.

Tony Williams says, “The magic of our Urban Nutcracker production can be 
shared with family and friends near and far this holiday season! The 
success of our production with audiences through the years is due, in 
part, to the blending of Tchaikovsky's eternally classic music with Duke 
Ellington's jazz arrangements of the score.”
