Nutcracker Ballet - San Diego (CA)

Moscow Ballet brings the Gift of Christmas Tour to San Diego with Great Russian Nutcracker performances bringing holiday magic to life and creating unforgettable memories for all ages. The company performs at Copley Symphony Hall at Jacobs Music Center on Wed., Dec. 18, 3 p.m. matinee and 7 p.m. 

Moscow Ballet makes Christmas gift giving easy with the holiday performance that delights all ages…from the life-sized Kissy Doll to the fierce, red-eyed Rat King; and the Russian Troika Sleigh bringing Masha through the Snow Forest to the Land of Peace and Harmony which is populated with 10 foot tall dancing puppets, exotic flying birds and dancing couples from the world’s five great heritages.

Cellist Josephine Kim accompanied a prima ballerina in Saint-Saëns’ iconic “Dying Swan,” before a performance of the Great Russian Nutcracker on the 2018 Dove of Peace Tour at San Diego’s Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center. The performance was part of Moscow Ballet’s community engagement program “Musical Wunderkind.”
