Boston Ballet

Boston


Boston’s skillful ballet troupe performs modern and classic works at the Opera House. The program varies every year, but at Christmas they always put on a wildly popular performance of the Nutcracker. Student and child ‘rush’ tickets are available for $30 cash two hours before some performances; seniors get the same deal, but only for select Saturday and Sunday matinees.
