Boston Ballet

Frommer's Review

Boston Ballet's reputation seems to jump a notch every time someone says, "So it's not just The Nutcracker." The country's fourth-largest dance company performs the holiday staple from Thanksgiving to New Year's at the Opera House, 539 Washington St. During the rest of the season (Oct-May), the venue is the Citi Wang Theatre and the repertoire is an eclectic mix of classic story ballets and contemporary works. Because the Wang was originally a movie theater, the pitch of the seats makes the top two balconies less than ideal for watching ballet. Paying more for a better seat is a good investment. Nutcracker tickets go on sale in early July; for the rest of the season, in September.
