American Ballet Theatre’s ‘The Nutcracker’ Returns to Segerstrom Hall

11.27.25

American Ballet Theatre’s beloved production of The Nutcracker returns to Segerstrom Hall December 11–21, 2025, accompanied by Pacific Symphony, for its 10th season at the Center.

Praised by the Los Angeles Times as “ravishing and clever enough to inspire multiple viewings” and called “jaw-droppingly beautiful” by the Orange County Register, this holiday favorite features choreography by Alexei Ratmansky, one of today’s most celebrated choreographers. The production dazzles with stunning sets and costumes by Tony Award winner Richard Hudson and Tchaikovsky’s timeless score performed live by Pacific Symphony.

The story follows young Clara, who receives a nutcracker doll at her family’s Christmas party. That night, in her dreams, the doll transforms into a handsome prince and whisks her away on a magical adventure through a world of dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers, and a battle between toy soldiers and a mischievous mouse army. More than 100 performers bring this enchanting tale to life on stage.

A treasured holiday tradition for Southern California audiences, The Nutcracker is a joyful celebration for the whole family.

VIP Sweet Seats
A limited number of Sweet Seats are available for all performances. Each ticket includes prime orchestra seating, a Segerstrom Center keepsake ornament, a Nutcracker collectible poster, Läderach chocolates, a holiday cookie, and a commemorative 10th anniversary tote bag, creating an elevated holiday experience.

A New Chapter for Lido House in Newport Beach

11.26.25

Lido House is introducing enhancements that bring even more character and coastal charm to the property.

The first reveal is The Glass House, a 540-square-foot, light-filled venue that opened this summer on the Newport Lawn. Designed to connect indoor and outdoor spaces, it features floor-to-ceiling windows, modern architectural lines, and a bright, airy setting ideal for intimate weddings, celebrations, creative pop-ups, private dinners, and small corporate events.

Also new is The Boardwalk, a 900-square-foot breakout and meeting venue that blends coastal style with smart functionality. Just steps from the Boathouse Ballroom, The Boardwalk gives planners a versatile space for strategy meetings, small-group gatherings, and dual breakout sessions.

With nearly 17,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event venues, a best-in-class events team, and these new additions, Lido House remains one of Southern California’s most stylish destinations for weddings, meetings, and social celebrations.
