Pacific Festival Ballet celebrated their annual Sugar Plum Fairy fundraiser and luncheon at North Ranch Country Club. The Sugar Plum Fairy theme always leads to their annual production of “The Nutcracker” ballet led by Artistic Director Kim Maselli. Our Conejo Valley community always looks forward to this treasured event that starts the Christmas season.
When I was a child, our house was often full of classical music. Tchaikovsky's score is particularly special to children. A magic moment occurred a few years ago when we were at Pacific Festival Ballet's “The Nutcracker” with our granddaughter, Bellefleur; she turned to us and said, "I love this music!" She was about 5 years old then. She's 12 now, and she loves it even more.
