For folks not familiar with the SF Ballet, it might be mentioned that their regular season usually ends in may or sometimes early june, to allow the SF Opera to use the same venue through the summer though november. The SF Ballet has performed the Nutcracker as many as 42 times (two a day for 21 days) in December. The Ballet website mentions nothing about the upcoming Nutcracker. As a side *note*, the Ballet is attempting to do what it can for its Orchestra. For the new pieces, it paid as much of its regular orchestra to record in the SF Conservatory's new building, where each wind player went to a different faculty members office, but were able to hear each other through headphones, and watch the conductor on a monitor. (I take zoom lessons from a Conservatory instructor, who is the first-call sub for the oboe section).
