24 Hawaii Parent NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2026 Ballet Hawaii’s The Nutcracker December 12-13 Celebrate the Holidays with Ballet Hawaii’s lavish Hawaiian-themed Nutcracker presented in the 1858 Kingdom of Hawaii. The production is choreographed by Septime Webre with guest artists from New York City Ballet, Sacramento Ballet, Eugene Ballet, and special local guest stars. Audiences can anticipate all the traditional holiday dances, but with historical characterizations of Washington Place resident Mary Dominis and Hawaii’s beloved Queen Liliuokalani. In this production, the flowers are Crown Flowers, Hibiscus, and Plumeria. The birds are Iiwi, and new island animal performers are introduced, such as the Honu (sacred Hawaiian turtle). The toy soldier uniforms are patterned after those of the Royal Guard, and the famous Waltz of the Snowflakes takes place atop the slopes of Mauna Kea. It is truly a delight to behold!
