On Christmas Eve, 1944, the audience at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera
House experienced the American premiere of Nutcracker. An instant sensation,
the ballet launched a national holiday tradition.
San Francisco Ballet’s sparkling production of Nutcracker, set here
in our own “City by the Bay,” has introduced audiences of all ages
to the magnificent world of ballet. This holiday season, experience the beauty and
athleticism of SF Ballet’s international cast of world-class dancers in Nutcracker,
a San Francisco tradition since 1944.
