Neglia’s Annual Gala

Neglia’s Nutcracker production has been recognized for its spectacular production value. “From the opening curtain’s rise to the dancer’s final bows, the much-talked-about production showcased a mix of tradition and wonder that few productions of the ballet achieve” (-The Buffalo News). The production has 136 roles, of which 85 are performed by children. There are over 400 costume pieces and over 100 props.
