Francis Patrelle's Holiday Classic, "The Yorkville Nutcracker," returns for its 27th Season!


Enjoy a magical tour of 1895 New York City with Dances Patrelle. Your journey begins with a Christmas Eve party at Gracie Mansion attended by dignitaries from around the world - including our new police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt. Thrill as you behold a battle with life-sized mice! Then go for a bracing midnight skate on the ponds of Cental Park. Finally, take a sleigh-ride to the Grand Conservatory of the Bronx Botanical Gardens in time for a beautiful sunrise buffet of sweets, hosted by the Sugar-Plum Fairy. New York City Ballet's Miriam Miller and Tyler Angle lead the Dances Patrelle cast in this magical and whirlwind seasonal confection, with rich delights for ballet lovers of every age.

Dances Patrelle asks Student Dancers up to the age of 12 to contribute toward the hiring of Artistic and Production Staff, and the maintenance of Props, Sets and Costumes for The Yorkville Nutcracker. By paying a production fee, you help us to ensure that The Yorkville Nutcracker will be on stage this year and in years to come.

A limited number of need based work-study scholarships are available. To apply, contact Justin Allen at director@dancespatrelle.org

The Patrelle Yorkville Nutcracker, set in a bygone New York, appeals to the tourist in me: it’s so full of New York and American detail (even Theodore Roosevelt makes an appearance) that I wanted to watch it again to notice more of what it tells of local history.
