Ballet Photography: Charlotte Ballet’s Nutcracker

While the story and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux’s wonderful choreography remain the same, there are many new faces in this year’s edition of Charlotte Ballet’s Nutcracker.

There will be numerous performances through late December so be sure to take in a show if you get the chance.
