"There are many other productions called The Nutcracker in the Bay Area each holiday season, but several important features set ours apart," says Valley Dance Theatre founder and director Betsy Hausberg. "First, ours is one of very few full-length productions that portray the complete Tchaikovsky masterpiece with all the magical splendor of its music.
"Secondly, all public performances are accompanied live by the Livermore-Amador Symphony pit orchestra. The production also features carols by the Harmony Fusion Chorus and the Valley Concert Chorale prior to the show and during the "snow" scene, making for an especially dynamic and memorable experience.
