Boston Ballet

Boston Ballet performs its mainstage season at Citizens Opera House on Washington Street, where full-length story ballets share the schedule with programs of shorter works. The Nutcracker is part of its holiday tradition, while other productions range from classical repertory to contemporary choreography. Pick a program by what interests you; you don’t need to know ballet terminology to enjoy watching it.
