The Nutcracker (Glendale)

The ballet will be presented in two acts, staged in the tradition of the renowned Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo featuring a cast of 70 award-winning, classically trained local dancers. MCB’s production of The Nutcracker will feature costumes coordinated by Chisato DuBose (of Media City Ballet of Los Angeles) and Anna Leiker (of Woodbury University in Burbank), with sets designed by Bob Davies of Walt Disney Feature Animation and artists from Universal Features Animation. A perennial favorite ballet during the holiday season, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker was written in 1892. It is the story of a young girl’s dream brought to life.
