The San Francisco Ballet’s Nutcracker is December’s hottest ticket! Seeing it is an annual tradition for many families, but this event includes super special extras you cannot get with a seasons ticket! Start with a delicious lunch at Elizabeth Falkner’s Citizen Cake, everyone’s favorite pre-ballet restaurant and patisserie, then enjoy the grace and athleticism of SF Ballet’s production, acclaimed as one of the top three Nutcrackers in the US and Europe! Afterwards, you will be treated to a magical backstage tour, hosted by both the orchestra conductor and ballet maestro, where you’ll meet the graceful ballet dancers, see the fantastical sets, view the amazing costumes up close—and maybe even have some Nutcracker “snow” fall especially for you! The New York Times says, “This is a Nutcracker on a grand scale,” and it will be even more marvelous after you’ve experienced the wonders behind-the-scenes! This is a joyous way for families and friends to spend time together and celebrate the holiday season!
