Nutcracker “Sweet”
Featuring The Puppet Company
Oakland Fairyland’s beloved puppeteers team up with the SFCO for a delightful version of Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic. Designed for young audiences, this production features the acrobatic antics of The Puppet Company’s miniature cast accompanied by the SFCO performing highlights from this beloved ballet. A firebreathing dragon, confetti and a show-and-tell of the different puppet types highlight this 40 minute gem. Join us for this joyful Thanksgiving Weekend tradition!

The SFCO is excited to present our third year of Sensory Friendly concerts, specifically designed with our neurodivergent community in mind.
What does that mean? ALL are welcome and every type of engagement with the music is encouraged. We’ll refrain from sudden loud sounds, our All-Star String Quartet performs at a beautifully pleasant volume, we'll have a basket of fidget toys, and the seating will create plenty of space for movement and expression.
The instruments of the string quartet will be introduced and we'll present a variety of musical styles ranging from classical gems to popular favorites. And for extra engagement, throughout the program we'll have fun, hands-on activities for those who wish to participate.
Our concerts are always Admission Free! Please RSVP so that we know you're interested!
