Central California Ballet's "THE NUTCRACKER" Dec. 15-16 with the Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra and guest soloists from the San Francisco Opera Ballet at the Saroyan Theatre. Central California Ballet's second Holiday spectacular with the Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the brilliant young classical composer and conductor (and Fresno native) Leanna Sterios-Primiani. This is the traditional Holiday show, preserving all the party fun, the glorious classical ballet choreography and Tchaikowsky music, but adding neglected elements of the original Hoffman fairy tale [Herr Drosselmeyer's magic and the Nutcracker's running battle with the fierce sorceress Mouse Queen] through BOTH acts. This is perhaps the most "complete" version of the NUTCRACKER story playing anywhere in the world.
