Mark Morris’ Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, is a work the New York Times called, “rich and complex—a ballet that keeps the eye and mind alert.” Next up is SF Ballet’s first new work, In the Countenance of Kings, by celebrated young choreographer Justin Peck. The subject of the new documentary film, Ballet 422, Peck is New York City Ballet’s resident choreographer. Closing the evening is Balanchine’s glittering Theme and Variations which, in the choreographer’s own words, was meant “to evoke that great period in classical dancing when Russian ballet flourished with the aid of Tchaikovsky’s music.”
