Here’s A Snowflake From The First Full-Length ‘Nutcracker’ In The U.S.

DANCE Posted: November 10, 2019 1:30 pm

Seventy-five years ago, in a San Francisco busy with Naval activity in the middle of WWII, the San Francisco Ballet staged the first full-length Nutcracker in the U.S. The snow is still falling – but there’s a lot more of it now than there was in 1944, when 16 white-clad ballet corps members danced with sparkler-style sticks around the stage. – San Francisco Chronicle
