San Francisco Ballet Presents
First performed in 1892 at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker made its American debut on Christmas Eve, 1944 at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House. The San Francisco Ballet performance has been a Bay Area holiday tradition ever since! It’s the timeless take of Clara and the nutcracker she receives as a gift from her Godfather Herr Drosselmeyer on Christmas Eve. The magic begins when Clara falls asleep by the Christmas tree and awakens to the sight of her nutcracker leading a regiment of gingerbread soldiers against the army of the Mouse King.
