Bringing Ballet to the Public
The San Francisco Ballet captivated audiences at Civic Center Plaza with a free outdoor performance previewing its 2024-2025 season. Thousands gathered to witness excerpts from Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and contemporary works by local choreographers, creating an inclusive and celebratory atmosphere.
Fostering Accessibility and Community
“This is our way of making ballet accessible to everyone, regardless of background,” said Artistic Director Tamara Rojo. Families, tourists, and long-time ballet fans filled the plaza, many experiencing a live ballet performance for the first time.
