Dance in America: San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker
The San Francisco Ballet is a cultural institution today, but the city has an illustrious artistic heritage. Among San Francisco’s great achievements is the 1915 World’s Fair, which brought 18 million visitors to the city by the bay. Watch a short documentary about the momentous event.

S.F. always had the best Nutcracker but this performance was absolutely perfection. The dancing is flawless and the costumes stunning. BTW… you can purchase the DVD by clicking the Shop link on this website toolbar, I did!
My grandchildren watched it with me and they loved it as did I. Where can we get a DVD?
Not to take away from PBS but I wanted to inform that the DVD of this performance is also available from the SF Ballet itself here: http://www.sfballet.org/balletshop/products/view_details.asp?id=20103199
Here is the phone number to order the DVD: 1 800 336-1917.
What is the year of the performance? The video was very choppy, seeming to indicate that the performance was some time ago.
I would like to buy this video for Xmas unforunatley I missed the performance. Is it possible?My daughter and I have both dancned in this ballet and wouold love to have it for the holidays. is it possible to buy this Dvd?
What an awesome performance…we are so blessed to have the dancers to bring us the joy that they do. There were students from the North Carolina School of the Arts that performed in the production. Our children are so blessed to have a school with the accent on education and their art form so that they can bring us these great ballets. Don’t forget about the ones behing the scenes either.
Ms. Fred says BRAVO, she is very proud…..with much love to my kids.
Another request for the DVD. Where’s the link you mentioned on the air?

Great performance, but why wouldn’t you show the names of those exceptional soloists in a timely manner?????????? I couldn’t catch a single name!
My wife and I found this performance of the Nutcracker absolutely enchanting. Bravo San Francisco Ballet Company. We watched it on KCTS Seattle but were not quick enough to get the information on where to buy the DVD; we must have it, please tell us how to get it.
My wife and I have watched The Nutcracker danced in London UK and in Toronto Can., The San Francisco Ballet Company offering was the most beautiful we’ve seen yet.
I would like to buy a DVD of the San Francisc Ballet’s Nutcracker Ballet. Thank you.
My kids, ages 7 and 3, LOVE this version of the Nutcracker. Rarely a day goes by when my 3-year old son does not don his cape and patch to act along with Uncle Dresselmeyer. The performance is beautiful and timeless.
