Whether or not the Company is on stage, 455 is buzzing with activity, so we’re starting a weekly post with some highlights of what’s happening! Check back each week for more behind-the-scenes tidbits.

Even though there are still two performances left of Program 6, the Company is already busy rehearsing the works for Programs 7 and 8. Yan Godovskiy is currently in the studio staging the SF Ballet premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s Russian Seasons, and will be joined by Ratmansky on April 11. Also, Elyse Borne from the Balanchine Trust is rehearsing George Balanchine’s Jewels.

If you haven’t seen Program 6 yet, join San Francisco Ballet’s ENCORE! for their second Pas de Trois event Thursday, April 9. Tickets include a pre-performance reception with sushi and wine, and a ticket to the final performance of Program 6.
