Prism was Helgi Tomasson’s second work for New York City Ballet. Set to Ludwig van Beethoven, the SF Chronicle called it, “classical perfection, a vision of pure joy surrounded by waves of affection.” New to SF Ballet, Ratmansky’s Seven Sonatas, hailed as “spellbinding”, “timeless,” and “miraculous” by the New York Times, is a multi-faceted conversation between couples. The program closer is Christopher Wheeldon’s Rush©. Set to the spirited Sinfonietta La Jolla by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, whose inspiration was the California sea and sky, Rush© premiered at Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival and was last seen in 2010.
