San Jose Nutcracker

December 8 – 10, 2023 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts

The Original San Jose Nutcracker presented by San José Dance Theatre is celebrating 58 years of magic! The longest-running live production of The Nutcracker in San Jose has been a Bay Area family tradition since 1964.

San Jose Dance Theatre is excited to present this year’s productions back in the theater at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

We are excited to perform once again with the Cambrian Symphony, with musical direction by Scott Krijnen. Don’t miss out on seeing this performance.

The costumes were beautiful. The sets were spectacular especially that growing tree! The dancing was lovely...at times I had tears in my eyes just at the wonderment...it brought joy to all who were lucky enough to experience it! A definite must see for the holiday experience. Can' wait until next year ! 🙂

Just a BIG thank you to everyone for last night's VIP experience. What a blast! We had not been to The Nutcracker since 2016.....Just loved this year's updated staging and storyline and the beautiful costumes. Our thanks to all for giving us such a great evening, and the many memorable pictures we took with the dancers (Testimonial from 2019 Nutcracker)
