About
The future of ballet is coming next. We’ve celebrated maker culture here in the Bay Area for decades, so to celebrate San Francisco Ballet’s 90th anniversary, we’re looking forward. The next@90 festival presents 9 world premiere ballets by 9 international choreographers, creating a hub of dance innovation in San Francisco. Featuring new works by Nicolas Blanc, Bridget Breiner, Val Caniparoli, Robert Garland, Yuka Oishi, Yuri Possokhov, Jamar Roberts, Danielle Rowe, and Claudia Schreier.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Three weeks, nine world premieres, a trio of mixed repertory programs – San Francisco Ballet opens its 2023 season with the next@90 festival! Honoring the company’s ninetieth birthday, nine choreographers, each with a distinct voice and vision, have been asked to create work for the world-class troupe. Whether an artist new to the War Memorial Opera House stage, or one beloved to SFB audiences, each work promises to harness the inherent magic that is ballet.
