Why see The Nutcracker? If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat:

Come celebrate the grandeur of one of ballet's most famous stories! Rich in traditions of holiday magic and lavish surprises, Marin Ballet presents a delightful adventure of childhood fantasy and beautiful classical dance. Artfully revitalized by choreographer Julia Adam starting in 2008, Marin Ballet continues to add new elements to this cultural jewel of Marin County. This year, come see new Battle Scene costumes and meet a new Mouse King villain. Herr Drosslemayer will be danced by Travis Bradley, currently with Memphis Ballet, and Robert Dekkers, noted as one the "25 dancers to watch" by Dance Magazine, Artistic Director of Post:Ballet, and currently a company dancer with Diablo Ballet, joins us again as the Nutcracker Prince.

Stunning sets, clever characters, intricate costuming, over 175 dancers, and a sweetly sophisticated story captivate the young-at-heart in this full-length production. Featuring Clara, Fritz, the dazzling Snow Queen, the far away Land of the Sweets, the enchanting Sugar Plum Fairy, and the mysterious Herr Drosslemayer, you need not travel to the city to enjoy this ballet treat.
