San Diego Ballet was founded in 1990 by Robin Morgan and features strong contemporary ballets created by award-winning, resident choreographer, Javier Velasco. San Diego Ballet has collaborated with many organizations including the SD Symphony, SD Opera, SD Chamber Orchestra, SD Camarada, Grossmont Symphony, SD Culture Shock, and SD Dance Theater during their seasons. SDB is also a touring company and has been voted #1 dance troupe by The Reader’s poll of the SD Union/Tribune, Signonsandiego.com, City Beat, and BestOf San Diego.com.
San Diego Ballet’s “The Nutcracker Suite” takes the place of the former Eugene Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” and “Nutcracker Jr.” This show could be considered a mixture of the two former productions, offering all viewers a sweet sampling of the majesty of this beloved ballet.
