Our 20th season of The Nutcracker will bring extra “star power” to The Garde Arts Center in New London this December with four dancers from New York City Ballet. These world-class guest artists will light up the stage in leading roles with 100 professionally trained dancers from Eastern Connecticut Ballet.
Featuring sights such as lighthouses, tall ships in port, and a sea captain’s Victorian home, spectacular scenery will transform the stage into a wintry day in New London during the 1850s; a setting that celebrates southeastern Connecticut’s seafaring past.
