I’m thrilled to introduce you to our season, which will feature two world premieres, three story ballets, the return of five new works from our innovative Unbound festival, and much more. The three story ballets in our 2019 Season are each quite distinctive, ranging from the ebullience of Don Quixote to the elegance of The Sleeping Beauty to the drama of The Little Mermaid. You’ll see the depth of talent here at SF Ballet in these very unique interpretations of classic stories. We start in January with Don Quixote, a delightful ballet full of humor, heart, and bravura dancing. The Sleeping Beauty is a romantic fairy tale, classical technique and crystalline perfection. Our third story ballet, John Neumeier’s The Little Mermaid, based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen, is a little bit dark—a nuanced exploration of the psychological impact of wanting to be someone other than who you are. Performing these ballets is challenging and will give our dancers wonderful opportunities to grow as artists. We also have five programs of “triple bills,” performances comprised of three shorter ballets. We’ll have two world © Erik Tomasson premieres: one by Liam Scarlett, who choreographed our recent Frankenstein; and another by our talented choreographer in residence Yuri Possokhov, whose Swimmer and Magrittomania have been audience favorites. You’ll also see the SF Ballet premiere of Benjamin Millepied’s Appassionata, a beautiful work for three couples set to the Beethoven score of the same name. And I’m delighted to bring back Harald Lander’s classic Études, which is as exciting to watch as it is thrilling to dance. The Company hasn’t performed it since 1989. You’ll also have another chance to see Justin Peck’s fantastic new take on Aaron Copland’s music in Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes, and my own The Fifth Season, set to the music of Karl Jenkins. When we’re not performing at the Opera House, we take our wonderful repertory on tour. Last fall, we had enormous success performing Divertimento No. 15 and Scotch Symphony in New York City as part of a multi-company Balanchine festival, and half of last season’s Unbound festival ballets at The Kennedy Center. We’re touring to London’s Sadler’s Wells theater later this spring with an extensive program including Alexei Ratmansky’s brilliant Shostakovich Trilogy, Unbound ballets, and Liam Scarlett’s Hummingbird. You’ll have the opportunity to see five of these Unbound ballets this season, as well as Divertimento No. 15 and Shostakovich Trilogy, all right here in San Francisco. It’s because of the enduring support of our subscribers and donors that we are able to showcase such ambitious programming, encompassing both the beloved classics and exciting new works. Thank you for being a part of the San Francisco Ballet family. I look forward to seeing you at the Opera House this season.

    July 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE

    President: Vice President: No. 503 - July 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE Shakespeare’s Birthday Party Reviewed by Liz Schafer The guest of honour at the 2018 Vic-Wells Association’s Shakespeare’s birthday party was Claire Bloom and it was particularly appropriate that the party was held in the rehearsal room where Claire rehearsed during her time at the Old Vic. She hadn’t enjoyed studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but here at the Vic she had revelled in working on the rôles of Juliet, (with Alan Badel as Romeo and Peter Finch as Mercutio), Ophelia (to Richard Burton’s Hamlet). She also played Viola in a Twelfth Night that included John Neville as Orsino, Paul Daneman as Feste, Richard Burton almost unrecognisable as a bewhiskered Sir Toby Belch and Michael Hordern as Malvolio. Meanwhile Viola’s twin Sebastian was played by Robert Hardy (How could Claire Bloom ever be mistaken for Robert Hardy?). Our President, Nickolas Grace, introduced Claire and pointed out how early her career took off – she was only 21 when she was picked out by Charlie Chaplin to star in Limelight: a daunting prospect, but Chaplin was totally supportive. Nickolas then reminisced about time spent working with Claire on Brideshead Claire Bloom as Thereza in Limelight Revisited when Nickolas played the outrageous Anthony Blanche and Claire played Lady Marchmain. Claire commented that although the cast was stellar, it was producer Derek Granger who was crucial in convincing her to do the series. Claire’s speech was the first try out of the Vic-Wells microphone, purchased so that speakers at parties can be heard more easily.
