"Nutcracker" is a many-splendored thing: a ballet, yes, but also an industry, a tradition, an employment and career opportunity, an eye- and heart-opening experience for generations of children.
"I had the wonderful opportunity to dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy with several great partners during my years there . I always viewed this role as a special introduction to ballet for young children. Of the music, S.F. Ballet Music Director Martin West, who has conducted hundreds of performances over the years — and is in the pit again this season — said:"Far from being a chore, conducting Tchaikovsky's astonishing score over and over is one of my true pleasures. Every year I am amazed how much there is still to discover in this masterpiece."
As World War II came to its conclusion in the Pacific, soldiers on leave and even some of those treated at Letterman Hospital received complimentary admission to the Opera House. During one of my visits over 40 seasons, a dozen years ago, I asked Jiwon Baxter, then 7, about her"Nutcracker" experience. Jiwon’s favorite was "a lot of pretty music," but she found the fight with the Mouse King too scary."But I like it when Dr. Drosselmeyer does magic and turns the lights on. I like it when Clara and the Nutcracker go into the Land of Sweets and I like the twinkling snow fairies and the Waltz of the Flowers.
In the case of S.F. Ballet, the expected income may amount to over $2 million , helping with the company’s $56 million budget. This estimate takes into account the War Memorial’s new capacity of 3,006 — after replacing all seats and reconfiguring the orchestra — and 33 performances, with prices ranging from $19 to $495 in the usually capacity-occupied theater.
