Covid 19 testing was easy, the theater had delicious snacks and beverages, clean theater. The ballet was absolutely stunning! All the adults and kids did an amazing job. I will definitely see this again!
Inland Pacific Ballet continues to produce a fabulous Nutcracker with professional artists, locals and darling children. The event felt very safe as everyone had to produce proof of vaccine and wear a mask inside.
Loved the performance. Having moved recently from the LA area to the IE, we were gratified to find that fine arts culture is thriving in the Inland Empire. Talent is everywhere, kudos to the directors to nurture it here. Inland Pacific Ballet's Nutcracker was totally enjoyable. They excel in story-telling. It seems that the directors chose story-telling over attention-getting bravura technical displays. The attention to detail execution of the staging was excellent, so that the corps de ballet scenes were critical to continuing to move the story-line forward. Kudos to the director in using younger pre-toe-shoe dancers in the performance. Their occasional wobble was easily offset by their eagerness, earnestness and devotion to story-telling. Also, the at times comic relief of the gum-drop dancers added to the warmth of the production. Both groups of young dancers gave evidence to the company's mission to grow the talents of their performers. The success of that effort can be seen best in the strong tiger spirits of the ballerinas at all levels. The older ballerinas were strong dancers and world class athletes and the intermediate ones were moving in that direction. The male danseurs did great work partnering their ballerinas, generously staying in the background and removing any need for hesitation or fear in their ballerinas. The direction and choreography supported strong story-telling with the talent levels of the troupe. Better than seen in any other group (Bolshoi, Maryinsky, ABT, Portland, San Francisco, LA).
Incredible Talent, nice theater. Very enjoyable afternoon at the Ballet, after passing the COVID screening! If you are not vaccinated you will be tested or you won't get in!
I had not seen, The Nutcracker Ballet, before; even though I had wanted to for many years. Finally was able to carve out the time, It was what I expected. The tickets were easy to obtain, parking was even easier, the crowds around the theater were easy to maneuver, and we had plenty of choices for a snack before the show and dinner after the show. I enjoyed the story, the music, and performers and will probably return for more next year. Thank you to the Inland Pacific Ballet Company for your performance and for cultivating ballet in the Inland Empire. The only negative was the tickets stated the show started at 1:00 PM, when it started at 2:00 PM.
A must see Christmas Ballet with family and friends. Excellent performance!
My husband and I have been attending The Nutcracker performance at different venues since 1989, and this was by far the most spectacular performance we have ever experienced!
Show was nice, some really skilled dancers. The line process was very organized with the bag policy folk and security. I was uncomfortable with the fact that no one was policing the mask requirement. The email I received stated all people were required to wear one, however many people during the show and also in the restrooms were not wearing masks. It made me uncomfotable and should have been enforced.
The Fox performing arts center was a dump. Selling beer and popcorn at a matinee performance of the nutcracker… what a disappointment. People were eating and drinking the entire duration of the show. It’s less than 2 hours long, you should be able to last without a beer and a snack. It was a decent show (the talented dancers in the second act definitely made up for the unprofessionalism of the first act). All in all, I would not return to the Fox theater for $85 per seat to watch a performance that was 50% professional and sit in a low class theater.
