Community Matinees

Discounted Community Performances!

San Francisco Ballet wishes to share a love of dance with the broadest possible audience. Each year the Company offers students and seniors the opportunity to obtain group tickets for performances at deeply discounted prices. We offer two spring Community Matinees during the repertory season. Performances take place at the War Memorial Opera House.

Community Matinees offer a behind-the-scenes look at San Francisco Ballet, including open set changes, a music education component, and special demonstrations featuring students from the San Francisco Ballet School.

For each of our Community Matinees, the San Francisco Ballet Center for Dance Education provides supplemental study guides that contain ballet-specific information along with material on ballet, dance, and viewing tips.

To add your school to our mailing list to receive information on Community Matinees, please call San Francisco Ballet Ticket Services at 415.865.2000.


AT&T, Bank of America, Chevron, J.P.Morgan, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Wachovia, and Wells Fargo are lead sponsors of San Francisoc Ballet’s Center for Dance Education.

Community Matinees are made possible by GAP Foundation and UBS Financial Services.
