The Theater
Jacobs Music Center in San Diego
Welcome to the home of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet in San Diego: Jacobs Music Center!
Jacobs Music Center is regarded as one of the finest classical music venues on the West Coast. Originally built in 1929 as The Fox Theatre, this lush movie palace style hall became the property of the SDSO in 1984. The beauty and majesty of this historic hall added to the stature and artistic growth of SDSO. In October 2013, the complex consisting of Copley Symphony Hall, the newly renovated lobbies, the backstage areas, the Grosvenor Family Musicians’ Center and the Symphony administrative offices was officially named the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center. On February 23, 2022, a major renovation project for the Jacobs Music Center and Copley Symphony Hall was announced, scheduled for completion in 2024.
