Performer: Hansuke Yamamoto,

The ballet’s second act, following Giselle’s death, is set in a spooky, mystical realm, precisely the kind of thing that so intrigued its 19th century audiences and made this ballet an instant classic.

Petipa's 1869 classic receives a splendid treatment in San Francisco Ballet's 2003 restaging of Don Quixote.

San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker delivers world class entertainment and features such stars as Maria Kochetkova, Joan Boada, Vanessa Zahorian, Frances Chung, Jaime Garcia Castilla. A holiday classic with a fresh spin that's a must-see for adults and children alike.
