Last night, ABT's Nutcracker opened at BAM, and the annual holiday outing of my childhood was better than I remembered. The costumes, designed by Richard Hudson, were a color-infused delight of tulle and sparkle, the dancers were flawlessly en pointe in the choreography by Alexei Ratmanski and the music, by Ilyitich Tchaikovsky, was magical. Principal dancers Veronika Part (Clara) and Marcelo Gomes (Nutcracker-Prince) gave a glowing performance of the age-old parts, while the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy was captivatingly beautiful. A must-see for adults and children alike. Get a sneak peek at some of the stand-out scenes above.
