Take A Journey To The Land of Sweets

The Nutcracker is returning to the Sacramento Ballet stage this December. Continuing its yearly tradition, the company will perform Tchaikovsky's work and fill you with holiday cheer. Also taking part in the show are local young aspiring ballet dancers, with some as young as seven years old. So come on down and support your local company and get in the Holiday spirit as you do!

What Is The Story?

One snowy Christmas Eve, at a great townhouse where a party is in full swing, local magician Herr Drosselmeyer brings gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker for Clara, the oldest child. When the clock strikes twelve, an adventure begins, and the Nutcracker comes to life, leading our heroine Clara into a war between mice and tin soldiers, and into the enchanted Land of Sweets where a festival awaits them in an enchanting fantasy of holiday joy and merriment!
