6 to 6:45 PM Meet and Greet
7 PM Performance

The Harvard and University of Chicago Clubs once again celebrate a gala performance of San Francisco Ballet’s Nutcracker this holiday season. We reserved fabulous seats in the Premium Dress Circle at a special group discount with Family Night extras. A Sugar Plum Fairy world of holiday magic awaits inside the resplendent Opera House in a wonderland of supersized candy, teddy bears, toy solders and such things that are usually visible only to young people nodding off to sleep. Our Family Night includes a gift for the first 500 children arriving, photo ops with Nutcracker characters one hour before the 7 p.m. performance and milk and cookies at Intermission.

Join us early at our 6 – 6:45 PM at our Meet and Greet in third floor Café Express area near our Premium Dress Circle seating. Café Express offers light dinner fare including for sandwiches, salads, desserts, champagne and soft drinks. We must be in our seats by 6:50 PM.
