I took my son to see The Nutcracker Ballet for the first time this weekend. We went to see it at Shea's, performed by the Neglia Ballet with music by the BPO, and once again I am amazed by both the beautiful architecture of our city, and the wealth of cultural gems we have here.
Shea's Performing Arts Center is a absolute beauty of a theater - if you haven't been there lately, you need to go. Every time I step foot in the place, the beauty and grandeur takes my breath away. Give yourself a great gift for the holidays - go see a show.
The music was performed by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, under the leadership of the incredibly talented Joann Falletta.
The men, women and children of the Neglia Ballet put on a performace that was top-notch. The dancing, choreography, costumes and scenery were beautifully done, and combined into a wonderful visual display to kick off the holiday season.
If you missed it this year, don't worry. Put it on the calendar for next year, and go see another show this holiday season. There are several to choose from at Shea's, and at Kleinhan's Music Hall.
Happy Holidays! Enjoy it by celebrating Buffalo and the cultural arts!
