Deemed strikingly modern [and] technically stunning (Daily Californian), the nation’s longest-running professional ballet company will return to the site of its heralded East Coast debut this summer after a 70-year absence. Led by Artistic Director and former Artistic Director of London’s English National Ballet Tamara Rojo, San Francisco Ballet will come to Jacob’s Pillow for the first time since 1956 to perform a mixed program featuring works from the classical ballet canon and works by Hans van Manen, George Balanchine, Tamara Rojo, and Ben Stevenson. In an expansive two-stage engagement, San Francisco Ballet will perform different programs on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage and in the Ted Shawn Theatre in the same week. Audiences interested in attending both programs will be able to enjoy the full outdoor performance in time to view the indoor performance.
