Experience the brilliance of three major European choreographers in a program that celebrates the range, nuance, and stylistic diversity of contemporary ballet. Van Manen’s Grosse Fuge strips movement to its essence—precise, sensual, and utterly exacting. Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour, costumed by Zac Posen, moves from virtuosic clarity into sweeping romantic lyricism. Khan’s Dust draws from the haunting legacy of WWI—visceral, dramatic, and emotionally unsparing. From Dutch precision and British elegance to Khan’s singular fusion of South Asian and Western movement — this curation presents a portrait of the art form at its most inventive, disciplined, and alive.

San Francisco Ballet presents seven world-class productions each season, running January through May, with their iconic Nutcracker dazzling audiences every December at the War Memorial Opera House.

San Francisco Ballet, long recognized for pushing boundaries in dance, has a history of making history. Founded in 1933, the company staged the first full-length American productions of Coppélia (1938) and Swan Lake (1940) and, in 1944, launched an annual holiday tradition with the first full-length production of Nutcracker in the U.S.

Led by Artistic Director Tamara Rojo, SF Ballet is accompanied by its own orchestra and operates one of the country’s most prestigious schools of ballet. Today it build on its heritage by commissioning groundbreaking dance from today’s top choreographers, by uncovering new choreographic talent, and by staging modern classics and the works that make up the canon of classic ballet. Its approach defines ballet in the 21st century, making San Francisco Ballet the essential place to see the most adventurous dance in America.
