pherank Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) SFB e-mail announcement: Experience the Beauty of Dance under the Stars this Summer! San Francisco Ballet presents Starry Nights in partnership with Stanford Live Arts Festival in a two-evening residency at Frost Amphitheater August 5–6, 2022 at 8 pm. The lively program thrills with audience favorites––three short ballets that range from romantic to athletic and brilliantly cool: Artistic Director and Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson’s 7 for Eight, Jerome Robbins’ In the Night, and the South Bay premiere of William Forsythe’s Blake Works I, a ballet that "will explode your ballet prejudices'' (San Francisco Chronicle). The Grammy Award–winning San Francisco Ballet Orchestra plays J.S. Bach's music for 7 for Eight and Chopin nocturne's for In the Night, while Blake Works I is danced to the sultry sounds of James Blake's 2016 album The Colour in Anything. SF Ballet will also co-present Complexions Contemporary Ballet’s Stanford Live debut on August 3 at 8:00 pm, presenting STAR DUST: From Bach to Bowie, featuring two exhilarating dance pieces inspired by musical masters. More information is available at this link. Include Starry Nights into your summer plans; tickets go on sale on Friday, April 29, 2022 at Stanford Live. https://live.stanford.edu/calendar/august-2022/starry-nights Edited April 21, 2022 by pherank Link to comment
