Our Opening Night Masquerade Soiree night begins with a red-carpet welcome and an exclusive VIP pre-concert reception with distinguished guests from San Jose’s government, business, and media communities. The historic California Theatre will provide the perfect backdrop as you enjoy fine wine, delicious food, and live entertainment.

After the performance, continue the celebration at our courtyard dessert reception, where you can mingle with special guests including conductor Nathan Aspinall, soloist Jon Nakamatsu, and Symphony San Jose musicians.

About San Jose’s Favorite Nutcracker

The San Jose Nutcracker takes place in San Jose at the turn of the last century. This unique production features landmarks of the era, with dazzling new scenic elements including a growing replica of the historic San Jose Light Tower and a skyline of San Jose inspired by the city in 1905. Costumes for the first act were inspired by period dolls from the History San Jose archives and the second act was inspired by our valley in the last century, carpeted in orchard blossoms and known as “The Valley of Heart’s Delight.” Swirling snowflakes, waltzing flowers, and The Sugarplum Fairy will make this holiday ballet a new favorite for the entire family.
