And Ann Murphy brings it all home for us.
Watch the trailer for our San Francisco Ballet‘s Programs 6 and 7 right here.
(So, Program 6 has 7 for Eight and Program 7 has Number Nine, srsly?)
And after these two end on April 20th, we’ll get the chance to see the return of the dramatic Little Mermaid (Program 8). And speaking of which, two of the Little Mermaid performances in May will be recorded by eight high-def cameras for Great Performances on PBS, so how about that?
And then that will be it for the 2010-2011 season.
