Thanks for this schedule. I don't yet see anything on the SF Ballet web site.
In the article, Petrouchka and Underskin are listed for Program 7:
Program 7: Zanella's "Underskin," Wheeldon world premiere, Fokine's "Petrouchka," April 8, 10*, 13, 14, 16* and eve., 19.

I didn't scroll down far enough, and ended up typing the whole thing out from the article

Well, I've penciled in second weekend of reps 1-2 and second weekend of reps 3-4.  It's a very nice season.

[Helene]

I should see you there for at least one of them, although it will take some moving around.  I was hoping that "Giselle" would be a stand-alone, and that 2 and 3 would overlap, but, oh, well.

[Leigh Witchel]

I'm glad for the overlap - I like getting a fuller picture of SFB as a ballet company; it was enlightening to see Swan Lake and get a sense of how the company did in it. And I love Giselle.

It will be interesting to see it in tandem (I hope) with PNB's Giselle in June.

I know, I know!

Here's a link to the on-line color brochure e-mailed to subscribers.

I'm beyond excited about Symphonic Variations, plus Balanchine's Coppelia, plus Winter Dreams, plus Giselle.  Looks like a good season.
