Anaheim Ballet's Nutcracker History

The full-length version of the production evolves each year, with new staging to keep the show fresh and talented dancers who will transfix your attention as you travel through this classic story.
The City of Anaheim has been home to the premier Anaheim Ballet for over forty years. Bringing the Nutcracker story to life in new and enchanting ways is a top priority for the organization and has become a beloved local tradition for families to attend.
Anaheim Ballet's Nutcracker Story
The ever-wondrous tale based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King centers around a girl named Clara and her toy Nutcracker, which comes to life one Christmas Eve.
The story evolves to include life-size Toy Soldiers, a battle with the Mouse King, travel to the Land of Snow in the enticing Kingdom of Sweets, meeting the Snow Queen, and learning that good can overcome evil, all set to glorious music by Symphony Irvine.
The dancers, costumes, and choreography carry you through the storyline. At the same time, a background of spectacular and colorful scenery completes the magical journey as it culminates with Clara transforming into the Sugar Plum Fairy and performing a mesmerizing dance.
The story is engaging for both adults and children, and this timeless tale is a favorite event for families year after year.
