Spend an elegant evening for two in the company of the San Francisco Ballet, one of America's most venerable ballet company in America. You are bidding on 2 tickets for the SF Ballet 2016 Repertory Season in Orchestra, Dress Circle or Balcony Circle seating for one performance. Your performance choices are:

Coppélia

MARCH 8-MARCH 13, 2016

Upon its 2011 debut, the SF Chronicle said, “Coppélia radiates a freshness and charm that will enhance any season.” The fantastic story of a mysterious inventor, his life-sized doll, and the havoc they wreak on a young couple is all frothy fun—and this spun sugar, candy-colored production is perfect for the entire family.

Dances at a Gathering & Swimmer

MARCH 16-MARCH 22, 2016

Dances at a Gathering an “unambiguous, take no prisoners triumph” when it returned to the SF Ballet repertory last season. A glorious celebration of community and humanity, Dances at a Gathering, set to Frédéric Chopin, is the quintessential piano ballet. Yuri Possokhov’s Swimmer is a multi-media meditation on 1960s Americana; “a stunning video dance that’s youthful, quirky and visually arresting” according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Prism

Seven Sonatas

Rush©

APRIL 5-APRIL 16, 2016

Prism was Helgi Tomasson’s second work for New York City Ballet. Set to Ludwig van Beethoven, the SF Chronicle called it, “classical perfection, a vision of pure joy surrounded by waves of affection.” New to SF Ballet, Ratmansky’s Seven Sonatas, hailed as “spellbinding”, “timeless,” and “miraculous” by the New York Times, is a multi-faceted conversation between couples. The program closer is Christopher Wheeldon’s Rush©. Set to the spirited Sinfonietta La Jolla by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, whose inspiration was the California sea and sky, Rush© premiered at Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival and was last seen in 2010.

In the Countenance of Kings

Theme and Variations

APRIL 7-APRIL 17, 2016

Original short film created for Justin Peck’s In the Countenance of Kings. Music by Sufjan Stevens. Directed by Ezra Hurwitz. Filmed on location at the 16th Street Theater Station in Oakland, CA.

Set to a mysterious score by György Ligeti, Continuum© is, according to choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, an exercise in “using the movement to break the code” of the music. Next up is SF Ballet’s first new work, In the Countenance of Kings, by celebrated young choreographer Justin Peck. The subject of the new documentary film, Ballet 422, Peck is New York City Ballet’s resident choreographer. Closing the evening is Balanchine’s glittering Theme and Variations which, in the choreographer’s own words, was meant “to evoke that great period in classical dancing when Russian ballet flourished with the aid of Tchaikovsky’s music.”
