San Francisco Ballet Nutcracker
Performance, War Memorial Opera House
301 Van Ness Avenue, Civic Center
Ticket price: $72.00.
Sunday, December 27
5:30 to 6:40 Reception at Jardinière Lounge 300 Grove St.
7.p.m. 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 and Extra Value Night price. 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.
Join us early at our 5:30 to 6:40 p.m. no-host Meet and Greet in the fabulous Jardinière restaurant at 300 Grove Street (between Franklin & Gough), around the corner from the War Memorial Opera House. Jardinière is a 4-star S.F. culinary icon. Zagat summarizes: “Civic Center ticket holders never miss a chance for pre-show dinner or nightcap at chef Traci Des Jardins’ swanky…spot.” We have a limited number of reserved tables in the Jardinière Lounge but, of course, our guests may make reservations for an earlier or later dinner in either the dining room (opens 5 p.m.) or the Lounge (415.861.5555). We must be in our Nutcracker seats by 6:50.
