Experience the magic of the holidays with family and friends at southern California’s most spectacular production of The Nutcracker from critically acclaimed Inland Pacific Ballet. This annual production tells the story of a young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets.

 

The Nutcracker comes to life in this magnificent ballet with beautiful sets dazzling costumes Tchaikovsky’s classic score and more than 80 dancers on stage. Toy soldiers life-sized dancing dolls falling snow a fantastic dream with battling mice dancing snowflakes waltzing flowers gingerbread characters and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy stir the imagination. A wonderful production for all.
