“Recently, the school caught the eye of Viviana Peretti… Ms. Peretti was attracted to the contrast between that grace and the effort made to attain it, and to the school’s simple setting at Kingsborough Community College in Manhattan Beach. Ms. Peretti, the photographer, was enchanted by the light in the bare-bones classrooms, by Russian culture preserved and transmogrified, and by the quiet devotion of the parents sitting in the corridor.”
Peter Tchaikovsky’s timeless ballet, The Nutcracker, has been a holiday staple for decades. Beautiful music, wonderful dancing and a lively plot make it perfect for children and adults.
