The Albany Berkshire Ballet (ABB) is proud to present its 43rd annual tour of the holiday classic The Nutcracker.  The production was choreographed by Artistic Director Madeline Cantarella Culpo. Sets and scenery were created by theater and movie set designer Carl Sprague, a Stockbridge native, and costumes were designed by Rita Watson and Victile Donahue. The Nutcracker will feature local dance students in special children's roles alongside the professional dancers of the ABB.  This year's professional company includes dancers from around the United States, as well as International.
