A treasured 20 year North County tradition, The Nutcracker celebrates the magic of the holiday season, bringing Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score to life. Audiences and critics rave at the beauty, professionalism and humor of San Elijo Dance & Music Academy/West Coast Ballet Theater’s heart-warming, highly entertaining performances with the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra! From the joyous party scene we are swept away in Clara’s reverie of mischievous mice, brave toy soldiers, glorious snowflakes, and the exquisite Land of Sweets. It even Snows on the Audience!
