San Jose Dance Theatre (SJDT) has produced San Jose's longest-running live production of the classic Nutcracker story each year since 1964. When the COVID crisis struck in its 55th year, SJDT took this Bay Area family tradition outdoors for a one-time-only special event featuring excerpts of The Nutcracker filmed on location around San Jose. This unique production incorporates for the first time the new San Jose Dance Theatre Ballet Company, the students of the San Jose Dance Theatre Academy, and some favorite guest artists. 


The Story: On Christmas Eve, young Clara falls asleep after the family Christmas party. As the clock strikes midnight, Clara is transported to a wonderful world where toys become larger than life, her beloved Nutcracker defends her from the evil Mouse King and stunning Snowflakes dance delicately. A joyous explosion of color, set to Tchaikovsky’s inspired score, San Jose Dance Theatre’s The Nutcracker is sure to enchant audiences from the very first moment.
