Exquisite dancing, beautiful sets, beloved characters, and the music of Tchaikovsky are performed live by the San Francisco Orchestra and the San Francisco Ballet Company. A favorite show for the holidays, it's the story of a young girl, a nutcracker, and a Sugarplum fairy.
Because of its length, the show is recommended for kids 5 and up. It runs for 2 hours with one intermission.
Benefit luncheons, sensory-friendly, dance-alongs, and school-time performances (for kids as young as 3) are available on select days.
