SF/Arts Curator Insight
The legacy of holiday dance traditions is strong in the Bay Area, and one of the most beloved is San Francisco Ballet’s annual production of “Nutcracker.” For the first time since it burst onto the North American ballet scene in 1944, in person performances will not be possible due to COVID. Instead, SFB has created a virtual “Nutcracker” world including a filmed 2007 performance and a magical sojourn through the War Memorial Opera House.
