The War Memorial Opera House has been home to the SF Opera since its opening in 1923. Here are just a few of the upcoming performances with the SF Ballet at the War Memorial Opera House. It is always one of my must see events every year! This show is always a fan favorite and sells out quickly so you will definitely want to plan and buy your tickets as soon as you can. The season runs from January to May and the last performance is always on Mother's Day so it can be a wonderful way to surprise mom.Ī special event is The Nutcracker which usually starts the second week of December and runs until Christmas Day. Many of the best dancers, and artistic directors, from all over the world have performed and worked here. Known for being extremely eclectic and one of the world's best dance companies, you will be able to see performances ranging from classical to contemporary depending on the dates you visit here. The ballet was founded in 1933 and was the first professional ballet in the US.
