Meet the Artist Interviews
San Francisco Ballet’s Meet the Artist pre-performance talks are back in the Opera House for the 2025 Repertory Season! Join us before Friday evening and Sunday matinee performances for an informative talk featuring dancers, choreographers, musicians, and other artists in conversation with a moderator. The interviews take place in the orchestra level 55 minutes before the performance starts. Open seating is in the orchestra level, but a performance ticket for that date is required to enter the Opera House to attend Meet the Artist interviews.
MANON
Manon delves into the clash between love and ambition through a tragic tale of desire and survival. An impoverished French woman struggles between genuine love and the lure of luxury, ultimately discovering that her quest for opulence leads to ruin. Sir Kenneth MacMillan's acclaimed work provides profound insights into human psychology and the destructive nature of desire. This influential ballet makes its Bay Area debut, presented with original sets and costumes from the Royal Ballet. Performances are set from January 24 to February 1, 2025, at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco.
Christelle Durandy SankTET
Join us for a captivating evening with Christelle Durandy, who fuses Afro-Caribbean, jazz, and other polyrhythmic sounds in a provocative exploration of the African diaspora’s diffuse and powerful musical energy. With her multicultural background and backed by her band Sanktet, she celebrates and expands upon the vibrant musical conversation of the diaspora, blending genres such as Cuban mambo, Guadeloupe’s gwo ka, and traditional jazz. The performance features talented musicians including Nathan Bickart on piano, Steve Hogan on bass, Carlitos Medrano on percussion, and Deszon Claiborne on drums.
