Join us as we raise a glass in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Mark Morris' The Hard Nut

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2016

Created and premiered in Brussels in 1991 while MMDG was in residence at Theatre Royal de la Monnaie, this holiday classic is hailed as "a raucous delight". We invite you to celebrate this milestone with us on December 14 with a performance of The Hard Nut at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House, followed by a post-show party with Mark Morris and the cast at the Mark Morris Dance Center.
