The Nutcracker battles the Rat King to defend Clara in the Battle Scene.
Each December, Ballet Etudes performs the classical ballet The Nutcracker for audiences young and old in Huntington Beach. We perform our full-length shows at the Huntington Beach High School Historic Theater during the first two weekends of December. The full-length production runs approximately 2 hours and features the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, professional costumes, snow and other special effects and a cast of over 100 young Orange County dancers. Educational presentations are given 30 minutes before curtain at the 2pm performances. Audience members may meet the characters for a photo opp after each show. The historic Huntington Beach High School Theater is handicapped accessible and parking is free.
We also perform four sold-out shows at the Huntington Beach Central Library Theater in December. These shows are for the benefit of the Friends of the Children’s Library in Huntington Beach.
