For World Ballet Day on November 1st, we drew back the curtain and streamed three hours of behind-the-scenes video: class, rehearsals, and sneak-peeks of our upcoming season. Check out some of our favorite moments from the stream here. Thank you for watching! We hope to see you for our 23/24 season at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, the first curated by Artistic Director Tamara Rojo.
