Included in the Principal Series 3 and 8 SF Ballet is pleased to present a world premiere work by Val Caniparoli.

The program also includes encore presentations of two critically acclaimed works from the 2013 season: Alexei Ratmansky’s joyous trip around the globe, From Foreign Lands, and Wayne McGregor’s arresting Borderlands, a fierce, driving study in movement inspired by the work of contemporary visual artist Josef Albers

PROGRAM THREE | MIXED-BILL | FEB 20–MAR 2
Included in the Principal Series 5 and 8
Yuri Possokhov’s Firebird, one of the Company’s most popular ballets, returns! Set to Stravinsky’s soaring score, the San FranciscoExaminer called Firebird “robust, imaginative, vastly entertaining… with an impact that had the audience cheering raucously in the aisles.” The program also includes Christopher Wheeldon’s Ghosts©, which recently wowed London fans and critics. The London Independent said, “Ghosts is original and astonishingly atmospheric… utterly gripping.” The program concludes with the spellbinding classic, La Bayadère, Act II. A ballet of extraordinary poetic beauty, this large-scale work with a cast of over 30 dancers was originally set on SF Ballet by the legendary 
ballerina Natalia Makarova

SF Ballet is pleased to present a world premiere work by Helgi Tomasson. Since assuming leadership of the Company in 1985, Tomasson has choreographed over 40 ballets, ranging from lavish full-length story ballets to intimate neoclassical works that showcase the unique qualities of his individual dancers. The program continues with the 20th anniversary presentation of Maelstrom, the first work created for SF Ballet by Mark Morris. Upon its premiere, the San Francisco Bay Guardian called Maelstrom “a jewel that goes right to the core of classical European dance.” The program concludes with Yuri Possokhov’s The Rite of Spring, a gripping interpretation of Stravinsky’s masterwork, which made its premiere during the 2013 season.

Program 7: April 29 @ 8pm and April 30 @ 7:30pm.

As “the most forward-looking American ballet company on the continent” (Contra Costa Times), SF Ballet is committed to presenting new works by up-and-coming choreographers. In that spirit, the Company presents a world premiere by Liam Scarlett, who, at the age of only 26, was recently appointed artist-in-residence at The Royal Ballet. Scarlett’s highly inventive works have stunned audiences and critics, and are currently in the repertory of The Royal Ballet and Miami City Ballet. The program also includes the return of Helgi Tomasson’s masterful The Fifth Season and Serge Lifar’s elegant Suite en Blanc, a brilliant showcase of French neoclassicism featuring “a parade of stunning individual and Hollywood-big corps performances.” (San Jose Mercury News)
