Take a Break During the Performance in the Family Viewing Area
SF Ballet provides a special place for a pause from the show inside the Opera House during Nutcracker and all performances throughout the Season. Visit the north Dress Circle (3rd level) to find this child-friendly area. Whether your child needs a break during a performance, you cannot return to your seat due to needing to use the restroom during the performance, or you arrive late to the Ballet, the Family Viewing Area provides a tv monitor to watch the stage and self-serve activities for children. From children’s books to writing letters to the dancers, the Family Viewing Area will entertain children until they’re ready to get back to the show.
