E.T.A. Hoffmann’s original story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King picks up the classic tale where Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet ends. This delightful evening—starring the San Francisco Symphony and Tony award-winning actor Alan Cumming—decorates Hoffmann’s story with music from Tchaikovsky’s tone poems, orchestral suites, and, of course, his famous The Nutcracker. Experience a rare holiday treat like never before, one that begins, as all great stories do, with, “Once upon a time…”
