| • The Nutcracker - Three years ago, the Santa Clarita Ballet celebrated a major milestone in the company's history: the 25th anniversary of the Santa Clarita Ballet's dazzling "Nutcracker." When the curtain came down on their last performance in December 2019, no one would have guessed how long they would have to wait to present their beloved holiday classic to the Santa Clarita Valley again.
Happily, that day has finally arrived and the Santa Clarita Ballet returns to the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center stage this December with three public performances of "The Nutcracker" with its sumptuous sets and costumes and Tchaikovsky's memorable score. The dancers are beyond thrilled to perform live on stage again and audiences will be delighted to know all their favorites will be returning: Bryan Wallk as the eccentric Uncle Drosselmeyer, Raydel Caceres as the gallant Cavalier, Danny Davalos displaying his acrobatic partnering in the Arabian dance and, of course, the adorable Gumdrops who emerge from under the towering Madame Gigogne's gigantic skirt. The ballet's heroine, Marie, will be danced by Faith Freund, a ninth grader at Village Christian School. The Sugar Plum Fairy will be danced by Kira Gilliam, a senior at Valencia High School. The Nutcracker's nemesis, The Rat King, will be danced by Cari Mayfield, a freshman at CHAMPS Charter High School of the Arts. Performances will be at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons on Saturday, December 17 at 2pm and 7:30pm and Sunday, December 18 at 2pm.
