Combining ballet and Chinese classical dance in a unique and dazzling spectacle, Nutcracker in China presents the tale of a visit by a magical peacock to a young girl in her dream. The Peacock Princess tells her that she will dream dreams from China’s past that will illustrate her mother’s compassion and wisdom — and when the Golden Phoenix appears, an era of peace, reason and health will ensue. This fifth installment of Nutcracker in China celebrates the Year of the Rooster. Don’t miss this dance drama that encompasses 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture, presented by New Century Dance at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.
