License No. 380540292 COA# 325 GREETINGS FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & PRINCIPAL CHOREOGRAPHER Welcome to The Little Mermaid and Shostakovich Trilogy, the final two programs of our 2019 Season. These deeply engrossing works were created by two of the most talented choreographers working today. John Neumeier’s The Little Mermaid is a tour de force of contemporary dance theater. John takes the emotional heart of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale and reframes it, incorporating both the artist (the Poet) and the art. He explores the deeper, emotional themes of the original story, dramatically underscoring the sacrifice and unrequited love the title character endures. Beyond the movement itself, John conceived every detail of the scenic, costume, and lighting designs, which along with the score composed by Lera Auerbach, bring this story to life with a theatrical vibrancy perfectly suited for our Opera House stage. Because the role of the Mermaid is as much of an emotional as a physical challenge, it’s a transformational role— both demanding and deeply gratifying. You’ll have an opportunity to see a different side of our dancers in The Little Mermaid. The location that connects you to Alexei Ratmansky’s Shostakovich Trilogy is another truly unique work of art. Alexei crafted a cohesive evening-length work from three FP 4 markedly different ballets, all set to music by this singular composer. the best of San Francisco. Shostakovich Trilogy, a co-commission between San Francisco Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, was an ambitious project that has earned accolades from audiences and critics around the globe. Alexei subtly weaves elements of Shostakovich’s life throughout the ballet, more abstractly in Symphony #9 and San Francisco is known for its rich intellectual and creative culture, progressive Piano Concerto #1 and more overtly in Chamber Symphony. And even if you are unfamiliar with Shostakovich, the themes spirit, and global outlook — and that’s just what you’ll find at San Francisco Towers, a explored in this ballet—love, grief, and fear—are universal. sophisticated Life Plan Community in the heart of the city. If you enjoy Shostakovich Trilogy, I have some good news—we’ll be presenting the SF Ballet premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s The Seasons, another co-production with American Ballet Theatre, in 2020. Our 2020 Season includes our signature blend Everything you love is within walking distance, making it easy to stay connected to the of new works and beloved classics: world premieres by Cathy Marston and Trey McIntyre, as well as George Balanchine’s culture and diversity San Francisco is known for plus convenient services, wonderful A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Christopher Wheeldon’s Cinderella©, and my production of Romeo & Juliet.

  • LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO « Atman » GOYO MONTERO
    CRÉATION LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO « Atman » GOYO MONTERO En sanskrit Atman signifie « le moi » ou « l’âme ». Dans la philosophie hindoue, il s’agit d’un principe primordial qui sépare les êtres vivants sans les désunir totalement. Il est l’essence du moi intérieur connecté et unifié au tout. Ce concept a entrainé Goyo Montero dans une réflexion traitant de l’individu au sein de la société. Le chorégraphe a ensuite transposé cette réflexion à la compagnie des Ballets de Monte-Carlo en tant que groupe de solistes qui travaillent ensemble à la manière d’éléments fluides. Goyo Montero s’efforce ainsi d’attirer l’attention sur le caractère unique de chaque danseur et sur la manière dont sont transcendées les connexions entre les membres de la compagnie. The atman is a Sanskrit word that means inner self or soul. In Hindu philosophy, it is a primordial principle that separates living beings without totally disuniting them. This concept brings Goyo Montero to the reflection over the idea of individual versus group. It is also a reflection of what a Dance company is, and specially the Ballets de Monte-Carlo as a group of incredibly gifted Soloist that work together as a tide group. The choreographer is pointing out the unique character of each dancer and tells us how they transcend when they connect with each other.

Le chorégraphe avait rendu possible une confrontation inédite entre les Ballets de Monte- Carlo et le public, massé autour des danseurs comme dans une arène.
