Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Choreographers love San Francisco Ballet. In-demand names such as Mark Morris and Christopher Wheeldon regularly return to create work for this sunny, adventurous company.
This season includes a whopping eight ballets made for the company, plus Balanchine's Divertimento No 15, a tutu classic danced to Mozart. Across three programmes, there are three Wheeldon ballets here: the bright Number Nine, the atmospheric Ghosts and Within the Golden Hour, to music by Vivaldi and Ezio Bosso. Morris is represented by the all-male Beaux, in costumes by fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi.
Yuri Possokhov, the company's choreographer in residence, provides the multi-media RAkU, based on the story of the burning of Kyoto's Golden Pavilion, and a staging of Prokofiev's Classical Symphony.
Ashley Page's Guide to Strange Places is danced to a John Adams score, while Trio, by company director Helgi Tomasson, is danced to Tchaikovsky.
