Ballet Ariel brings beauty and charm, family and community to the holiday season with a duo of ballets December 12-28, various times, at two locations. See original productions of Little Women accompanied by live music by Gossamer Winds, and the Nutcracker Suite.
Little Women is based on the 1869 book by Louisa May Alcott. It follows the four March sisters, Amy, Beth, Jo and Meg, from Christmastime and beyond, as they grow up during the Civil War era and find their place in the world.
The Nutcracker Suite is a selection of dances from Tchaikovsky's ballet, The Nutcracker. The Suite highlights some of the most famous dances from the holiday-themed ballet from Act II in which Clara arrives in the Land of Sweets. There she is welcomed by the Sugar Plum Fairy and treated to dances representative of various nationalities and cultures.
