Together with this incredible Company of artists, I’m thrilled to introduce you to a season that will span the wide range of work that this company has become known for: beloved story ballets, neoclassical favorites, world premieres, and much more. The three story ballets in our 2020 Season explore love in its many forms, from the romance of Christopher Wheeldon’s Cinderella© and the whimsy of George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to the heartbreak of Romeo & Juliet. We start in January with Wheeldon’s Cinderella, a wonderful retelling of the classic tale that encompasses both his inventive choreography and mesmerizing visual effects. In March, Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream returns to SF Ballet for the first time in 35 years. It’s a delightful retelling of the Shakespeare comedy with sets and costumes by Martin Pakledinaz, who designed our Nutcracker and Don Quixote. We end our season with my Romeo & Juliet, set to the powerful Sergei Prokofiev score. We brought this production to Copenhagen last fall and were delighted by the warm reception of Danish audiences. I’ve invited two choreographers from our 2018 Unbound festival back to San Francisco to create world premieres for our 2020 season. In Mrs. Robinson, Cathy Marston re-examines the story of © Erik Tomasson The Graduate from Mrs. Robinson’s perspective. Cathy has a very thoughtful process for creating narrative through movement, and her new ballet offers a look at the gender dynamics of the 1960s through a different lens. Trey McIntyre explores universal questions around the search for meaning in a world overwhelmed by minutiae in The Big Hunger, set to Prokofiev’s complex, beautiful Piano Concerto Number 2. I’m also thrilled to present the west coast premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s The Seasons, a fanciful, inventive reimagining of a lost ballet by Marius Petipa, set to the Alexander Glazunov score. This dynamic work features many of our dancers and draws upon both Alexei’s reverence for classicism and his endlessly inventive choreographic voice. Alongside these premieres, we have the return of Mark Morris’s Sandpaper Ballet, Liam Scarlett’s Hummingbird, Benjamin Millepied’s Appassionata, Harald Lander’s Etudes, and Choreographer in Residence Yuri Possokhov’s Classical Symphony, as well as my own 7 for Eight. And I’m elated to bring back three Unbound festival favorites: Edwaard Liang’s The Infinite Ocean, Stanton Welch’s Bespoke, and David Dawson’s Anima Animus. For both personal and professional reasons, I’m also looking forward to our penultimate program of the season, George Balanchine’s Jewels, which we will be performing in its entirety for the first time since 2002. We’re also planning an event, “Celebrating Jewels” for which we’re bringing together a number of former Balanchine dancers to discuss about what it was like working with Mr. B on the three ballets that make up Jewels and to coach the dancers on the roles they know so well. I’m looking forward to hearing their memories and perspectives—and to catching up with some old friends. Thank you for your enduring support and for being a part of the San Francisco Ballet family. I look forward to seeing at the Opera House this season. Helgi Tomasson Artistic Director & Principal Choreographer 2020 SEASON GUIDE | 415-865-2000 | 9 Location, Location, Location...
