2025 Nutcracker Benefit Luncheon

Journey with us to the land of dreams

We can’t wait to welcome you, your family, and your friends to celebrate the joy of the holiday season and the magic of SF Ballet’s Nutcracker!

About the Luncheon

The magical day for the whole family begins with an enchanted Nutcracker wonderland fit for the King and Queen of Snow in a transformed Zellerbach Rehearsal Hall. Guests will enjoy a tasty lunch and sweet treats, engaging crafts and activities, appearances from Nutcracker characters, and other extra special surprises.

Following lunch, all will settle into their own private Box seats or front and center Orchestra seats at the War Memorial Opera House for the matinee performance of Helgi Tomasson’s celebrated Nutcracker. Those guests purchasing at the Nutcracker Suite level will also join us for an incredibly special post-performance celebration on the War Memorial Opera House stage for San Francisco’s one-and-only snowfall!

This year, we will be selling full tables for eight or ten guests, as well as individual tickets. Individual ticket purchasers are encouraged to put together a table with friends and family.

Proceeds from this event directly support San Francisco Ballet’s education, training, and community programming, including our continued partnership with the Boys & Girls Club. Our partnership began with the Don Fisher Clubhouse in 2015 and has since grown to include 14 clubhouses in San Francisco.
