Maine State Ballet presents our 45th Nutcracker live at Portland’s Merrill Auditorium from November 26th through December 5th. Under the direction of Artistic Director and former New York City Ballet member Linda MacArthur Miele, The Nutcracker features the classic story of Clara and the Nutcracker Prince with glorious sets and dazzling costumes by Gail Csoboth.
Over the past many months, Maine State Ballet has consistently followed CDC guidelines to help protect the health and safety of our dancers, staff, and patrons. To further mitigate exposure in the theater this particular year, we made the difficult decision to forgo our beloved orchestra and chorus and will perform to recorded music. Merrill Auditorium has specific safety guidelines which are updated regularly here.
