F R O M T H E A RT I ST I C D I R E C TO R
On behalf of the entire Company, I want to express
our deepest gratitude for your unyielding support
over these past few months. We have missed seeing
you in the theatre and experiencing the energy and
enthusiasm you bring to us with every performance.
Throughout this experience, our organization has
grown and learned a lot. I am amazed and so proud
of how our whole Company has come together, and
what we have accomplished in keeping our artform
alive and available to our wonderful audiences. It has
deepened our conviction that now more than ever, we
need the beauty and healing power of art in our lives.
We regret that with our shortened 2020 Season,
you missed out on two of our most anticipated
productions. However, I am pleased to share that for
our 2021 Season both A Midsummer Night's Dream
and Romeo & Juliet will return, along with my own
production of Swan Lake. This will make for a trio of
beautiful ballet productions for all to enjoy – each
filled with spectacular music and dance, compelling
stories, and stunning costumes and scenery. We are
committed to sharing these works in whatever way
we can with you. Whether by digital means, live in
the Opera House or both, you will have a season
that showcases the continued diversity, artistry,
and excellence of San Francisco Ballet.
I hope you will join us as we look ahead and continue
to create and experience the beauty of dance, together.
