Albany Berkshire Ballet Tickets

Albany Berkshire Ballet (ABB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ballet company with deep roots in the Berkshire and Capital Region dance communities. Originating in the 1960s from the Berkshire Civic Ballet and the Cantarella School of Dance, ABB evolved into Albany Berkshire Ballet in 1989 and expanded to an Albany-based studio the same year. Over the decades, ABB has cultivated a diverse repertoire that spans classical masterpieces to contemporary works, continually engaging audiences with collaborative creativity.

ABB’s Nutcracker stands as a signature production, typically featuring 600+ young dancers alongside a professional cast. The company is known for nurturing local talent through auditions held across multiple cities, including Albany, Pittsfield, Springfield, and Burlington, while maintaining high artistic standards and community access.

The Nutcracker remains a centerpiece of ABB’s annual season, often touring to multiple venues across the region while maintaining a strong connection to Albany’s own performing arts community. 2025 Nutcracker venues included the Flynn Center in Burlington, VT; the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA; and Symphony Hall in Springfield, MA, reflecting ABB’s regional reach. The Egg in Albany was not used in 2025 due to construction. For performers and partners, ABB embraces robust outreach, including auditions in Albany, Pittsfield, Springfield, and Burlington, aiming to inspire the next generation of dancers.
