BALANCHINE
San Francisco Ballet, Opera House
This dazzling program showcases the genius of George Balanchine, a visionary who shaped contemporary ballet in America. His artistic evolution unfolds in three unforgettable works, each revealing a different facet.
Diamonds, glittering with grandeur, pays homage to Balanchine’s classical roots and command of tradition. Serenade, his first ballet created for American dancers, poetically captures both emotional depth and groundbreaking innovation. Closing out with Stars and Stripes, Balanchine turns a bold, joyful tribute to the American spirit into pure, patriotic spectacle.
Set to the sweeping scores of Tchaikovsky and John Philip Sousa, this program is a vibrant journey through the legacy of one of the 20th century’s greatest choreographers.
Experience Balanchine’s unmatched artistry brought to life on stage. Brilliant, bold, and not to be missed.
