Nutcracker Lives On, But From a Distance
Nutcracker—a holiday tradition for 75,000+ SF Ballet visitors each year—will not be seen live this December. Instead, we’re reimagining Nutcracker and want to hear from you! “We are a family of dancers, students, and loyal patrons that come together for these performances each year,” says Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson. “Perhaps all of this will make our reunion next year all the more special.” Take the survey and read the news release.
