NEW JERSEY BALLET

Company History

This year, New Jersey Ballet celebrates the 43rd anniversary of its Nutcracker, making it the longest running original professional production in the state. The production debuted in 1971 with Edward Villella, then an international star with New York City Ballet, as the Cavalier.

Today, after close to 900 performances and over a million viewers, it has become a cherished holiday tradition with generations of theatergoers throughout New Jersey and beyond. In 2008, the production made history as the first full length classical ballet ever performed in India, where it sold out three performances at that country’s Performing Arts Center in Mumbai.

For more than fifty years, NJB has thrilled audiences from Bergen to Cape May with top quality professional ballet. It has given hundreds of thousands of adults and children their first introduction to ballet and inspired in many a lifelong love of the arts.

New Jersey Ballet has also taken the best of New Jersey arts to audiences in other parts of the country and set records on international tours to Bermuda, India, Italy, Russia and Taiwan.

The founding of New Jersey Ballet created a profound change in the cultural landscape of New Jersey. Thanks to NJB, countless children, teens, adults and senior citizens in every corner of the state have enjoyed the magic of dance theatre. During its 26 week season, New Jersey Ballet performs a variety of works from classical, contemporary and jazz ballet. And the company also has one of the largest collections of ballets for children in the country.

New Jersey Ballet’s extensive repertory includes works choreographed by some of the greatest names in the world of dance: Balanchine, deMille, Tudor, Nebrada, North, Pourfarrokh, Taras, Sappington, Renvall, Tomal, Vernon, Vesak, Petipa, Chabukiany, Saint Leon and Bournonville. The company’s artistic advisors include three of the greatest international dancers of the 20th century; Edward Villella, Eleanor D’Antuono and Leonid Kozlov, who coach the dancers in repertory they themselves danced at New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and the Bolshoi.

New Jersey Ballet is proud to be designated a Major Arts Institution by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in recognition of its “artistic excellence, substantial programming and broad public service.” The company was voted New Jersey’s Favorite Dance Company two years in a row in the People’s Choice competition.

Barbara Gilford, dance writer for The New York Times New Jersey Weekly for more than ten years, wrote this about the impact and value New Jersey Ballet has for New Jersey.

“New Jersey Ballet Company is the ONLY dance organization in the New York metropolitan area that takes high quality programming and performances to urban, rural and suburban communities throughout New Jersey (and at a cost that is “affordable” in comparison with the major organizations in New York City who are at home at Lincoln Center). Residents of our state have access to a three hundred year-old dance tradition, frequently on their doorsteps. New Jersey Ballet is an assemblage of professional dancers who embody the highest standards of technique and artistry and they are OURS!!!”

T HE S TORY

OF

N UTCRACKER

ACT ONE The curtain rises on a Christmas Eve party at the home of the Mayor, his wife, and their children, Clara and Fritz. Everyone is engaged in games and dancing when old Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with his handsome nephew. At first the children are afraid of the old man, but their fear disappears when they discover what the old man has brought: a life-size porcelain doll and a soldier doll! Drosselmeyer distributes toy swords and trumpets to the boys and dolls to all the girls….all except Clara. The old gentleman presents her with a colorful Nutcracker. Jealous Fritz grabs for the Nutcracker and breaks it. Drosselmeyer’s nephew helps Clara tuck the broken Nutcracker into her doll’s bed. The guests leave and the family retires for the night.

As the empty living room grows dark, Clara returns for one last look at her Nutcracker. She falls asleep on the sofa and a magic spell creeps over the room. Giant mice appear from behind the walls. Child-sized toy soldiers pursue the mice. The Christmas tree grows very tall. The room changes and everything disappears except the now-giant Nutcracker who leads the toy soldiers in a battle against the mice. Suddenly, Clara gets up and helps the Nutcracker defeat the Mouse King. The Nutcracker turns into a handsome prince, and he and Clara glide away in a strange flying Swan Boat. As they pass through a strange, enchanted forest, the King and Queen of Snowflakes and their swirling subjects dance a splendid waltz.

ACT TWO Clara and her Prince journey to the Kingdom of Sweets where the Sugar Plum Fairy and her court await. The Sugar Plum shows the young couple to a pair of thrones and the whole kingdom comes to entertain them. There are dancers from faraway lands, Mother Ginger and her Clown Children, and a garden of Waltzing Flowers. Finally, the Sugar Plum dances a pas de deux with her Cavalier. The entire court joins in a final waltz, and the curtain falls as Clara climbs into the Swan Boat and sails home.
