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.
