Program 3: Quadruple Bill
A truly eclectic SF Ballet sampler featuring works by two esteemed choreographers: The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude is an exhilarating work by William Forsythe, and Variations for Two Couples by Hans van Manen who was hailed by The Guardian (UK) as the “Mondrian of ballet.”
Then, as part of Helgi Tomasson’s ongoing commitment to new work, SF Ballet presents the world premiere of Manifesto by Myles Thatcher, a member of the Company’s corps de ballet since 2010. The program concludes with Natalia Makarova’s staging of The Kingdom of the Shades from La Bayadère, Act II, described by the San Francisco Chronicle as “an ideal of classical purity.”
