The Academy is a jewel in the crown of Philadelphia's cultural crown. It is old and beautiful. It dates from another era and the decor is charming. I have been there for several ballets and always enjoy the show. Swan Lake is my favorite. The dancing, costumes and music is heavenly. Also, the Nutcracker at Christmastime is a wonderful extravaganza that always is a big hit with children and adults of all ages.
