Choreographed by Thordal Christensen and Colleen Neary, this full length Nutcracker is set in 1912 Los Angeles and was the calling card when LAB made its debut seven years ago.
Over the intervening years, the production has been polished to a bright patina and the dancing talent deepened as LAB continues to prove itself to be a top-drawer professional resident ballet company.
The Nutcracker also launches 2012-2013 season for the ballet company which will include a festival of choreography by George Balanchine next spring and early summer.
For tickets ($21-$95)and more information on the performances set for Saturday, December 15th 1:00pm and 5:00pm and Sunday, December 16th 1:00pm and 5:00pm: www.losangelesballet.org
