ub NUTCRACKER 2.0

No holiday season in the Hub would be complete without a trip to Boston Ballet’s lavish production of The Nutcracker (refer to listing, page 12). Choreographer Mikko Nissinen’s celebrated classic returns to tell the story of Clara and her heroic toy soldier with brand-new sets and eye-popping costumes, as well as amazing new choreography and characters. Award-winning designer Robert Perdziola, who has previously worked with both The Metropolitan Opera as well as American Ballet Theatre, was enlisted to help reimagine this family favorite. Through December 30, guests of all ages can experience world-class ballet dancers take the stage while Tchaikovsky’s timeless score comes to life at the beautiful Boston Opera House. —Paul Adler

A SPOT OF TEAStep back in time and partake in an iconic evening of historical excitement. The Boston Tea Party celebrates its 239th anniversary as the Old South Meeting House and the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum

host the Boston Tea Party Annual Reenactment. This experience is sure to be entertaining,

enlightening and have you shouting along with the reenactors as you march

through the streets of downtown Boston. The fun begins at 4 p.m. on December 16, with the Meeting of the Body of the People at the Old South Meeting House (310 Washington St.). At 6:45 p.m., the night ends after all the tea is tossed into Boston Harbor.

You won’t be able to resist hollering “huzzah!” as you witness the most

important event leading to the American Revolution. —Olivia Taggart

HOP TO THE POPS Jingle all the way over to historic Symphony Hall to catch Keith Lockhart conducting the Holiday Pops (refer to listing, page 12), a beloved Boston tradition since 1973. Warm up your pipes for the Pops sing-along and enjoy a holiday narration, plus a visit from the jolly man in the red suit himself. Before they listen for Rudolph’s hoof steps on the roof, little ones love the Kids Matinee, where snagging a floor table scores you a menu of holiday treats. And since Santa does adore the limelight, he’ll also be free for photo-ops after these weekend afternoon shows. Do you hear what we hear? Through December 24 at Symphony Hall, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. —Elizabeth Stanek

a peek at the pastTaking the Mystery out of Boston History

In 1659, the Massachusetts Bay Colony passed a law that reads in part:

that whosoever shall be found observing any such day, as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing labour, feasting, or any other way upon any such account as aforesayd, every such person so offending, shall pay for every such Offence Five shillings, as a fine to the County.

We look back upon the puritan founders of New england as a grim sect who devoted far too much attention to the moral well-being of their neighbors—haunted by the fear, as h. L. Mencken put it, “that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” the act out-lawing Christmas was only one of a series of so-called “Blue Laws” that constrained public behavior.

to be fair, early Bostonians believed they had sound theological reasons for not celebrating Christmas. the Gospels gave no specific date or even a time of year for the birth of Jesus, and in the Old england that the puritans fled, Christmas revels clearly had strong connections to riotous, pre-Chris-

tian behavior that marked the winter solstice. the anti-Christmas law remained in effect only

until 1681, but the bias against the holiday remained strong and there was little public notice or celebration of Christmas in Boston until well into the 19th century. Over time, things began to change, but at a glacial pace. the town of Boston became a city and a more cosmopolitan place. Waves of immigrants brought with them differing religious beliefs and holiday customs—including the Christmas tree. the family celebration of Christmas at home “tamed” the feared boisterous revelry. as a symbol, we can see the long struggle to change first the law and then public sensibility culminating in the lighting of a public Christmas tree in Boston for the first time in 1912, by Mayor John Francis “honey Fitz” Fitzgerald. —peter Drummey, stephen t. Riley Librarian at the Massachusetts historical society

beacon hillAn old world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city

Walking along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve travelled back

in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has born witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charm-ing hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

Back BayThis famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub

Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plen-tiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the

streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls con-nected by a climate-controlled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and galleries throughout. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as well, where locals and visitors alike flock to chic hotel bars, restaurants and lounges to see and be seen.

NORTH ENDFabulous cuisine, shopping and history are abundant in Boston’s Little Italy

Old North Church

Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busiest neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that permeate this neighbor-

hood’s narrow cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor bou-tiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

Boston accent

Mary DowDle still gets exciteD describing her first impressions of Boston Ballet’s famed production of The Nutcracker. “I just loved the lushness of the production, the costumes, the colors, everything about it.” This enthusiasm comes as no surprise. While producing the book Becoming a Bal-lerina: A Nutcracker Story with her friend, author Lise Friedman, she was given a first-hand look at the intense behind-the-scenes preparations of this venerable family favorite. Dowdle’s inspiration for the book began with her own two daughters and their foray into dance. “My daughters danced in a pro-duction of The Nutcracker as mice, and since the parents were asked to be involved, I was a mouse nanny,” recalls Dowdle. “I helped the kids get dressed and I docu-mented them behind the scenes. It was then that I realized so many people see those two hours at the theater but don’t really have an appreciation for what happens leading up to that.” Dowdle then drafted a proposal for Becoming a Ballerina with Fried-man, which was soon accepted by the Boston Ballet.

“The artistic staff was very excited and great about giving me access to get the shots I needed for our project,” says Dowdle. “I just loved the sets and the quality of their profes-sional dancers; I think the Boston Ballet has some of the best in the world.” With so much support, Dowdle produced a book that she can truly be proud of. “This book shows the reality of life on stage: the scuff marks, the nervousness of the dancers and, in terms of photography, it really shows the production from a different vantage point.” Now with three children of her own, Dowdle views motherhood as a boon to her artistic pursuits. “Motherhood has made me slow down more in terms of the volume of work I can produce, but it has also helped me take a step back and really ask myself what I can put out in the world that will be interest-ing to young kids and families.” —Paul Adler

Mary DowDleThe photographer for Becoming a Ballerina: A Nutcracker Story knows her way around the stage.
