Ringing in the holiday season, San Diego Ballet presents this outdoor matinee of The Nutcracker, enchanting playgoers with sugarplum fairies, leaping cossacks and flurries of snowflakes underneath the San Diego sky. Transforming a corridor of the Liberty Station neighborhood into a pop-up theater, the drive-in format will allow families to revel in this hour long classical production with comfort and safety in mind.

Join the historic San Diego Civic Youth Ballet as our beloved holiday tradition is kept alive with The Nutcracker Project 2020. SDCYB’s most advanced dancers have already been rehearsing for weeks via Zoom in preparation to perform excerpts from The Nutcracker outside in Balboa Park in mid-December. While not open to a public audience, the 30-minute performance (featuring the iconic Tchaikovsky score) will be professionally filmed and available to view from the safety of your home just in time for the holidays!
