Program 5

Appropriate for San Francisco Ballet's Program 5, Helgi Tomasson's The Fifth Season headlines this event. Reviewed on its premiere as his 'best ballet yet' by the San Francisco Chronicle, it retains its sophisticated character, mixed with passionate interludes. Following it is the world premiere of Harmony, the first work completed in the SFB studio after the pandemic lockdown. It also heralds Tomasson's last premiere work with the Company as he steps down as Artistic Director after 37 years!

The finale offers a chance to catch Yuri Possokkov's Magrittomania, a surrealistic ballet inspired by and including facets of, the work of Rene Magritte.
