While there are faux adaptations and recital and training school productions, Albano’s Nutcracker is a professional production featuring a cast of International ballet stars, some of whom he has trained. Most notably: Eric Carnes from Newington, an Albano trained Principal Dancer, who alternates as the Cavalier Prince with Italy’s Marcello Algeri.
What separates Albano’s Nutcracker from Boston and New York productions is the extraordinary choreography. Joseph Albano is a world-renowned choreographer with ballets in European dance companies. Albano is the president of Italy’s International Dance Competition which is held annually in Sanremo, Italy.  Starring in this year’s  Albano’s Nutcracker cast is Ritsuko Sato from Japan as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Kerryanne Saunders a 14-year veteran with the company dances the Dew Drop and Sabrina Rinaldi is the Snow Princess.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 and 2010 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.”  For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.  For information on this week’s schedule, call the Entertainment and Special Events hotline at 1.888.226.7711, ext. 27163.
