Step into the future of ballet with The Blake Works, a thrilling program that ignites the stage with raw energy and innovation. In this electrifying three-part series, William Forsythe, one of the most influential choreographers of our time, pairs his ground-breaking movement with the evocative vocals and electronic score of Grammy Award-winner James Blake.
High-octane, rhythmically charged, and visually striking, The Blake Works redefines what ballet can be. Forsythe’s signature deconstructed aesthetic meets Blake’s evocative soundscape to create a kinetic experience that is as daring as it is unforgettable.
Making its San Francisco Ballet premiere as a full evening, this program merges Forsythe’s Blake Works II with Company premieres of Prologue and The Barre Project in a celebration of his relentless drive to push ballet into uncharted territory. This is ballet like you’ve never seen it.

An arrow to the future
Eugene Onegin is a richly layered and deeply human exploration of love, regret, and the heart’s fragility. Resident Choreographer Yuri Possokhov’s world premiere brings new depth to Alexander Pushkin’s classic, where a single choice alters the course of a life.
