About the event
A Landmark Holiday Tradition in Southern California Continues to Shine!
Set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score performed live by the Santa Monica College Symphony Orchestra for all nine public performances, this cherished production brings Clara’s enchanting journey to life in this timeless holiday tradition.
The Westside production masterfully captures the essence of the legendary George Balanchine’s vision, as originally conceived by Yvonne Mounsey, who once graced the stage as the Center Spanish in the New York City Ballet during the peak of her career. Highlighted in the pages of the Los Angeles Times and recognized as one of Pointe Magazine’s preferred Nutcracker productions nationwide, it’s a holiday experience that promises to be unforgettable—one you won’t want to miss!
