Seven Performances Left of “The Nutcracker” for 2007

by Jennifer Springer

It just isn’t Christmas until you’ve seen at least one performance of The Nutcracker Ballet. I don’t know if it’s the appeal of a dream world where fantasy can become reality or the irresistable pull of Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, but there is just something so devestatingly sweet about this ballet that renders it both heartbreaking for the innocence that we have lost yet soothing for the innocence that it awakens in us anew. Whatever the reason, it is one of those stories from my youth that I just can’t leave behind this time of year.

Lucky for all of us fanatics of nostalgia here in Sacramento, we don’t have to leave it behind. We get to embrace it annually without fear that it wno’t be around next year. We are forever safe in the knowledge that Ron Cunningham’s version of The Nutcracker has been playing at the Sacrmaneot Ballet for two decades and that it shall likely continue for at least two more. (After all, if ain’t broke don’t fix it!!!) Yet somehow I still almost forgot about it this year which would have REALLY broken my heart. Thankfully, there are still seven shows remaining. Two of them are today–the 12:00PM matinee performance and the evening performance which will start at 4:00PM. The next will be on Friday, December 21st at 7:00PM. Two more will follow on December 22nd–one at 2:00PM and one at 7:00PM. Then, the final two performances will be on December 23rd at 12:00PM and 4:00PM respectively. To my knowledge, there are still tickets reamining for all of these times. Seats range in price from $25.00 to $65.00 per person. All performances will be held at the Sacramento Community Center Theater which is located at 1301 L Street. Have fun and let the dancers carry you away with them to the Kingdom of the Sweets!

About Sacramento, CA

When Sacramento was founded in 1849, I don't think anyone bothered to notice that it means "Holy Sacrament" in Spanish. After all, it wasn't a very apt name for a lively, growing mining town where gambling and saloons where the status quo. Perhaps to gain a modicum of respect, they paid California $1 million in 1854 in order to become the State Capitol. In the years since, it has evolved from a little mining town into a bustling city full of people from every culture and every walk of life. In addition, our status as the most ethically diverse city in America also means that we have something for everyone to do. There are numerous ethnic restaurants, tons of museums, and countess festivals in historic Old Sacramento that make the city an excellent place to visit and an even better place to live...
