I was excited to take my wife and daughter to the nutcracker so I purchased the best seats available and that was a mistake. The first problem when we arrived was I seen that the seats in the theater were just stackable seats and they were zip tied together so they were very tight together and the person sitting next to me was a plus size woman that was intruding onto my seat. Second problem was I had my daughter sit in the aisle seat so she would have no one blocking her and when it was about to start the orchestra conductor was standing directly in the middle of the aisle so he blocked most of the stage and I was three seats over and I could not see a lot because he was in my viewing area as well. Sorry to say but we left right after the first admission. Sorry to say but I would not recommend spending any money to see anything at this theatre
Using Ticketmaster is a big mistake! Ticket price instantly almost doubled!
The company's dedication to excellence of sets, costumes, choreography, and talent, with embrace of a wide age range, leaves me feeling proud to be a denizen of Anaheim. There's something great besides that kingdom, as great as that is. The Irvine Symphony brings such energy and excellence to the performance.
The best for our community as members are invited and perform in the highest quality. Just beautiful!
Oh my goodness never seen a ballet before and they did not disappoint me. Had a great time great experience and will definitely do this again
How does a venue NOT NOTIFY customers that they will require a covid vaccine or a negative test when purchasing tickets? Absolutely unbelievable that the night before the show I receive an email from the venue notifying me of this nonsense. You now expect me to pay $40 a person for a covid test? You're out of your mind. Never again will I attend a show at this dump.
The dancing along with the live orchestra was fantastic. I would see this again.
I was blown away by the performance! Most of the dancers are in their teens but their skill and talent equalled those much older. The props and stage presentation was world class.
The performance was OK. However, this was not the classic Nutcracker. This was a variation on the theme of the Nutcracker. The music did not have all the traditional pieces of music and and unknown segments put in. Story line was changed and scenes omitted. Because of the mislead expectations it was disappointing. It would have been a more satisfying experience if it had been advertised as a modernization or a variation of the original. Deceptive advertising.
