Maine State Ballet’s holiday favorite, “The Nutcracker”, comes to Portland’s Merrill Auditorium again this year with nearly 300 dancers and the live music of the Maine State Ballet Orchestra.
Order tickets by phone at 207-842-0800, or online at tickets.porttix.com.
From the snowflakes falling above the Merrill stage, to each individual bead sewn into the costumes, the Nutcracker is Maine’s grandest ballet presentation. In the 35 years since co-founder and Artistic Director Linda MacArthur Miele first staged the Nutcracker in Maine, the show has become a beloved holiday tradition.
