The biggest hit of San Francisco Ballet's just-concluded season, Christopher Wheeldon's spectacular Cinderella, will be on the company's 11-day residency in Lincoln Center, the first in five years.
During the first week, Oct. 16-20, the company presents several mixed-bill programs, with works by Edwaard Liang, Serge Lifar, Wayne McGregor, Mark Morris, Alexei Ratmansky, company artistic director Helgi Tomasson, Yuri Possokhov, and Wheeldon.
From October 23 to 27, the company presents the New York premiere of Wheeldon’s Cinderella. Expecting high demand for tickets, there will be special pre-sale offers from Audience Rewards and Travelzoo, before sales to the general public starting June 10.
"After five years, we are thrilled to return to New York — one of the company’s favorite tour destinations," says Tomasson. "This fall we are especially excited to bring eight New York premieres including Cinderella."
Program A on Oct. 16 and 19 offers Tomasson's Trio, Wheeldon's Ghosts, and McGregor's Borderlands. Program B, at the Oct. 19 matinee, adds Lifar's Suite en Blanc to Trio and Ghosts.
Program C, on Oct. 17 and 18, features Ratmansky’s From Foreign Lands, Morris’ Beaux, Possokhov’s Classical Symphony, and Liang’s Symphonic Dances. Program D, at the Oct. 20 matinee, will have Suite en Blanc, Ratmansky’s From Foreign Lands, and Symphonic Dances.
