Clara is about to have the night of her life, and so are you...

 Join Uncle Drosselmeyer, Mother Ginger and the Sugar Plum Fairy as Clara travels to the Land of Sweets on a very magical Christmas Eve. 

 For over 40 years, the Civic Ballet of San Luis Obispo has presented this holiday classic. Lori Lee Silvaggio's The Nutcracker is filled with all the pageantry, magic and wonder that have made this one of the most enduring holiday traditions around the globe. Featuring a full live orchestra, sterling production values, and San Luis Obispo County's finest dancers, this is a ballet experience you won't want to miss. Lori Lee Silvaggio's The Nutcracker is performed live at the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center by the Civic Ballet of San Luis Obispo featuring OperaSLO Grand Orchestra.

Performances December 13-15
