American Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker, Segerstrom Hall, Costa Mesa, CA

SoCal’s favorite holiday tradition returns for its tenth season at Segerstrom Center, with American Ballet Theatre’s critically acclaimed performance of The Nutcracker.

Created by one of today’s most acclaimed choreographers, Alexei Ratmansky, this dazzling holiday feast showcases ABT’s roster of superstar dancers, exquisite sets and costumes by Tony winner Richard Hudson, and the Pacific Symphony performing Tchaikovsky’s immortal score.

The Nutcracker is the story of Clara, a little girl who receives a nutcracker doll during her family’s Christmas party. In her dreams that night, the nutcracker doll transforms into a lovely prince who joins her on an amazing voyage. Together, they go to worlds populated by dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, a mouse army, and other exotic characters, all brought to life on stage by a company of over 100 actors!

The Nutcracker, performed by the American Ballet Theatre, is one of the most delightful holiday traditions. Create a memory with your loved ones!
