Certain annual holiday traditions in the Santa Clarita Valley are treasured by residents year after year. Among these beloved events are the Festival of Trees, Light Up Main Street, Henry Mayo’s Home Tour League Holiday Home Tour Gala, and the Santa Clarita Ballet Company’s production of “The Nutcracker.”
“The Nutcracker” is a magical tale featuring a young girl, Uncle Drosselmeyer, a nutcracker prince, dancing snowflakes, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the enchanting music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Tickets for the Santa Clarita Ballet Company’s “The Nutcracker,” to be performed at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center on the campus of College of the Canyons, are now on sale. Performances of this holiday classic will be held on:
– Saturday, December 20 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
– Sunday, December 21 at 1 p.m.
The Santa Clarita Ballet Company was founded in 1995 as a performing outlet for advanced ballet students. In partnership with the Santa Clarita Ballet Academy, the company offers students the opportunity to perform alongside professional guest artists, while providing the community with quality, semi-professional ballet theater.
Since 2004, the company has made its home at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons. Each year, they present up to eight performances, including a summer production in June and the annual student outreach and public performances of “The Nutcracker” in December.
The Executive Director of the Santa Clarita Ballet Company is Corinne Glover, and the Artistic Director is Carol Guidry.
