Local ballet students under the direction of new Executive Artistic Director Erica Ueberroth will return to the stage for this Bakersfield holiday tradition in four shows December 9th through 11th, 2022. Joining them once again will be the live Nutcracker Orchestra under the direction of Stephen Penner. Tickets for the production go on sale November 15th online and at the Mechanics Bank Theater box office. The dancers, choreographers, directors and symphony members are excited to share this beautiful ballet with their city once again. As part of arts education and outreach efforts, a shortened version of the ballet will also be presented to local school children in four Young People’s Concerts.
