You cannot go wrong with a performance by this company. The dancers are among the best in the nation and the orchestra is top notch. The tickets may seem pricey, but you get first class performances in the beautiful Academy of Music in the heart of Philadelphia. Well worth the cost.

Our group attended the production of the Nutcracker for the first time in Philadelphia this year. The theater is absolutely beautiful and the production was amazing. The only think that left us unsettled was the "fear factor" of sitting in the front row of the balcony. I understand that the building was built over 100 years ago and I am...
