The Nutcracker
The Conservatory’s production of The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition in the Ridgefield community. Ballet students in Level II-VI (must be in SECOND grade and up) with participation in a ballet class the full previous year may audition. Performed annually at the Ridgefield Playhouse, participants enjoy exquisite choreography, custom-designed costumes, and performing for sold-out audiences.
