The Nutcracker

  • Before the show: Have your picture taken on the red carpet while carolers sing Christmas classics on the plaza (one hour before the 5:30 p.m., 7 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. performances)
  • The show: Music Director John Stubbs leads the Classics Philharmonic (December 10 and 11) and the San Diego Symphony (December 16–24) through Tchaikovsky’s masterful score while a cast of more than 150 brings to life the story of young Clara’s adventure through a dreamland of snow and ice. The result is a magical holiday tradition stunningly realized.
  • After the show: Following the 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. performances, there will be a Sugar Plum Party in the Grand Salon (level 2), where enchanted audience members can meet the cast.
