Description
Lights dim. History comes alive. This year, SF Ballet celebrates the centennial of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition with its production of Nutcracker, which is set in San Francisco in 1915, the year the Exposition brought the world to San Francisco’s doorstep. The sights and exhibits of the fair inspired some of the production’s most memorable moments including Clara’s dream journey through a mystical land peopled with dancers from all over the world. Performances take place in the magnificent War Memorial Opera House, designed by Arthur Brown, Jr., who also designed PPIE’s Horticulture Building and San Francisco City Hall.
