BALLET BOOK CLUB

Books, Wine, and Ballet? I’m in.

Ever wondered about the literature behind the ballets? Or wanted an excuse to delve a little deeper into everyone’s favorite story ballets? Join SF Ballet’s Audience Engagement team for a chance to do exactly that: read the story, compare it to the ballet, and, of course, have a glass of wine.

What’s in store?

Once you sign up, we’ll send you the story in a PDF or web link. Don’t worry, nothing’s too long, and if you don’t get around to reading it? Well, that’s pretty standard book club participation. We’ll get you caught up.
During the event, we’ll take a look at parts of the story (and give you handouts!), and then look at parts of the ballet (on video!) that match up.
Then you get to do the talking. What’s the same? What’s different? And did reading the book make you love the ballet more?
Of course, none of that’s complete without a glass of wine in hand. It is a book club after all!
