Nutcracker

On a chilly, starlit Christmas Eve in December 1944, San Francisco Ballet performed the very first Nutcracker ever seen in America. In celebration of the 60th Anniversary of that historical milestone in dance history, Helgi Tomasson unveils a stunning, all-new Nutcracker.

Filled with a myriad of magical new surprises, this grand-scale production brings the beauty and wonderment of Clara’s fantastical dream to life with new choreography and staging by Helgi Tomasson, scenery by internationally recognized designer Michael Yeargan, costumes by Tony-award winning designer Martin Pakledinaz, and lighting by James F. Ingalls.
