Maine State Ballet presents its 50th Season of the beloved tale of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince as they journey through the Land of Sweets to meet the Sugar Plum Fairy.

​New Artistic Director and longtime company dancer Janet Davis stages the production, featuring choreography by New York City Ballet’s George Balanchine and Resident Choreographer Linda MacArthur Miele. Costumes and scenery are designed by Gail Csoboth, with Robert Lehmann returning as conductor of the Maine State Ballet Orchestra and Choir.

On Friday, November 28th at 5:30pm, acclaimed pianist Antonio Galera will return to the Jesup Memorial Library (34 Mt. Desert St., Bar Harbor) to present works by Enrique Granados, Franz Liszt and Modest Mussorgsky, among others. This concert is the first of this winter’s Music & Conversation series, which brings world-class musicians to the Jesup Library for intimate concerts and conversations on music history, scholarship, and performance.

StevieMac, a Fleetwood Mac and Steve Nicks 'experience," re-creates their most popular hits and the most memorable live performances one night only at the Sanford Peerforming Arts Center at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 28.

Authentically and Flawlessly, every detail is carefully crafted—from era-specific wardrobe and staging to breathtaking multimedia and storytelling that set the scene for each era being celebrated. The result is a fully immersive, multi-sensory journey through Fleetwood Mac’s evolution: the early blues-infused beginnings, the soaring harmonies of their chart-topping years, and the solo successes that cemented the band as one of the most beloved in rock history, each member as an icon in their own right.

Audiences will be transported by faithful renditions of classics like "Landslide," "Dreams," "Don’t Stop," "The Chain" and "Silver Springs" — each performed with the same passion, energy and precision that made them legendary. Layer in the ethereal magic of Nicks, the warmth of Christine McVie, and the driving guitar mastery of Lindsey Buckingham, and you have a show that doesn’t just honor the music—it makes you feel like you’re there.

Tickets are $39-$59, with discounts for subscribers, students, seniors and military veterans. For information, visit sanfordpac.org or call the box office at (207) 206-1126, or visit in person Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m.-noon.
