State Street Ballet presents “The Nutcracker”

Presented by State Street Ballet

State Street Ballet serves up tradition with all of the grandeur Santa Barbarans have come to cherish, with over 150 professional dancers, musicians, and ballet students joining forces in THE NUTCRACKER. In each new iteration of this annual favorite, the company brings fresh insight and ideas to their classical interpretation of the story. It’s a celebration of holiday spirit that delights audiences of all backgrounds—“charming, fresh, and a delight to the eye and ear.” (Noozhawk)
