December 13, 2011 > Berkeley City Ballet returns with Nutcracker Berkeley City Ballet returns with Nutcracker Submitted By Erin O'Keeffe Did you miss the excellent past performances of Nutcracker? Although the curtain has fallen on this year's presentations by Fremont Symphony and Yoko's Dance as well as Hayward's Ballet Petit, there is still time to take the family, especially younger family members, to a memorable performance and introduction to ballet and a venerable Christmas tradition of The Nutcracker. Berkeley City Ballet will again visit Fremont's Ohlone College Smith Center to entice audiences as Clara's nutcracker prince once again duels with the Mouse King. Designed with the pint-sized in mind, Berkeley City Ballet's rendition of the Nutcracker is an inexpensive delight for audiences of all ages - even the wee ones - and lots of fun. Students of Berkeley City Ballet present a great alternative to more formal performances inviting young audiences to join the magic and glamour of this Christmas classic; all characters will be available after each performance.
