“Clara and The Nutcracker” is Director Yelena Holt’s retelling of the classic holiday story “The Nutcracker Suite” by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Talented youngsters make their stage debut, while pre-professionals and guest professionals perform traditional roles that have been tests of merit for decades of dancers.

Holt Ballet Conservatory’s Clara and The Nutcracker brings to life the complete classical repertoire from original productions of The Nutcracker, with reimagined spectacle that has endeared Director Holt to dance audiences for over two decades.

Holt’s tale of The Nutcracker follows the title character of Clara, whose Christmas present of a toy nutcracker soldier inspires a magical journey to a strange world she’s never known. Join us as Clara winds deep into the mysteries she uncovers, finding home a memory to which she must hold fast if she’s ever to return. With the historic atmosphere of the Foundry donning extravagant holiday decor, and Holt Ballet bringing together the highest calibre of classically trained ballet dancers in California’s Sierra Nevada, children will be enchanted and adults will be inspired by this evening to remember.
