The first ballet company to bring the Nutcracker tradition to America, San Francisco Ballet's awe-inspiring production is like no other.
Set in San Francisco during the 1915 World's Fair, Clara's dreamlike journey is an ode to the City's historical grandeur - all amidst colorful, larger than life scenery, over 200 dazzling costumed characters, and of course Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score performed live by the world-class San Francisco Ballet Orchestra.
"I'd never seen the Nutcracker before. Turns out it's a really fun & lighthearted ballet. Pretty short too--only about 90-120mins total.
The sets in the first act were incredible!" — Rishi Mandal
