I went to the San Francisco Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker this weekend with Stacey and Charissa. It was so beautiful. The whole time I was grinning because everything was just lovely. The War Memorial Opera House is gorgeous inside and out, too. What a treat! I learned that the first performance of the Nutcracker in the United States was in 1944 by the San Francisco Ballet at the same Opera House, so I felt so blessed to have the opportunity to see something like that.
