The Seiskaya Ballet’s Nutcracker has become a perennial holiday favorite on Long Island. This year’s staging of the Nutcracker is again scheduled for six performances: December 16-19 at Stony Brook University’s Staller Center for the Arts.
This classical ballet rendition has earned praise from critics and audiences alike. Newsday called the production, “ENCHANTING,” “Polished,” “...child friendly - a storyteller’s Nutcracker...” And in another Newsday article the reviewer gushed: “...lavish... and ...sumptuous...” Other reviewers proclaimed it: “...glorious... Dazzling....extraordinary...” The cast will be led by guest artist Nick Coppula (Cavalier) formerly with the Pittsburgh Ballet plus Seiskaya's award winning principal dancers Jenna Lee and Diana Atoian plus 1st soloists Brianna Jimenez, Max Lippman, Jamie Bergold, Amber Donnelly and Girie Carrero-Sagona.
The company’s 2016 Nutcracker season should again garner praise. Judith H. Bernstein of Newsday headlined her Seiskaya Nutcracker review, “A Delicious Holiday Confection for Young and Old.” Reviewer Michelle Isabelle-Stark entitled her review “Seiskaya’s Nutcracker Is Dazzling and Breathtaking.” The Seiskaya Ballet’s Nutcracker is considered Long Island’s premier Nutcracker production.
