Fresno's Premier Holiday Ballet

Central California Ballet returns with their festively entertaining Nutcracker ballet, which is notable for sticking closely to the original storyline of E.T.A. Hoffman's original tale, featuring a resurrected Mouse Queen and battles that take part through both acts. But it's not all fighting, as the glorious dancing and uplifting music by Tchaikovsky testifies, and to this day remains the toast of Fresno's Christmas entertainment!

Together with their regular corps de ballet, the Company welcomes guest dancers from across the world to take part in the production, as well as choreographing new sequences to keep the show fresh and exciting for audiences new and returning.
