The New Ballet returns with its fourth installment of The San Jose Nutcracker, which puts a South Bay spin on the traditional tale of sugar plum fairies and animated toy soldiers. The upstart ballet company has found success by giving local audiences a heaping helping of San Jose history with their Tchaikovsky. For example, instead of a Christmas tree, a replica of San Jose’s iconic Light Tower grows out of the stage. This season, the show will feature a collaborative dance with Los Lupeños Juvenil, the youth division of the Los Lupeños folklorico group.

San Jose Nutcracker
Fri-Tue, 7pm & 2pm, $39.50+
