Bay Pointe Ballet Announces Debut at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- After receiving a 28 million dollar renovation, the San Mateo Performing Arts Center is the venue that will house the debut of newly founded Bay Pointe Ballet in their production of Bruce Steivel's Nutcracker. Led by Artistic Director Bruce Steivel, Bay Pointe Ballet is a professional company featuring 32 professional dancers. Steivel's production will feature custom sets and costumes by internationally acclaimed Russian designer, Alexandre Vassiliev and Tchaikovsky’s most enduring score. After each performance, children are invited onstage to meet the stars of the ballet.

Bruce Steivel, an internationally recognized choreographer and teacher, previously served as the Artistic Director of Bern Stadt Theatre in Switzerland, the Hong Kong Ballet, the Universal Ballet of Korea and Nevada Ballet Theatre, among others.

Steivel's Nutcracker sets the stage of this treasured classic in St. Petersburg, Russia, where Clara receives the gift of a Nutcracker from her mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer. Slipping into a dream, Clara takes you on a journey as she braves a battle against the dreaded Rat King, travels through an enchanted forest of Snow Flakes, and finally waltzes into the land of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Kingdom of Sweets!

"Cozy and charming, this Nutcracker is scheduled to delight holiday audiences." — Las Vegas Weekly
