Rich in old-fashioned holiday grandeur, Clara’s whimsical Christmas Eve dreams come to life through the art of classical ballet enriched with clever storytelling, mischievous humor, heroic characters, and plenty of fanciful surprises.

Lavish Victorian costumes and sets frame choreography by Julia Adam and a cast of over 150 local dancers as they bring adventure to life in this full-length ballet production.

From Clara’s festive parlor…complete with embattled mice and soldiers…to the Enchanted Forest of the Snow Queen and across the sea to the Land of the Sweets, one never knows what the mysterious Herr Drosselmayer has in store for 2018!

Marin Center is the perfect venue for introducing children to a traditional live theater experience and MB’s Nutcracker is a lovely gift to share with those you love.

Meet costumed characters at the Candy Cane Party immediately following our 1:00 pm performances.
