The San Francisco Ballet will conclude its 90th season with “Helgi Tomasson’s Romeo & Juliet.”

There will be 10 performances from Friday, April 21 through April 30. This is the first time that SF Ballet has staged this production in the Bay Area, set to Sergei Prokofiev’s score, since 2015. The company also performed it at the Royal Danish Opera House in Copenhagen in 2019. Former artistic director Tomasson premiered it in 1994.

SF Ballet soloist Jasmine Jimison will make her debut in the title role on opening night, marking the first time in the production’s 29-year history that a soloist has danced opening night in a principal role. Jimison is a Bay Area native who trained exclusively with San Francisco Ballet School since she was 12.

Principal dancers Nikisha Fogo and Isaac Hernández will also make their debuts in the title roles. Principal dancer Misa Kuranaga, who previously danced as Juliet during the company’s 2019 tour to Copenhagen, will dance her first stateside performances on April 22 and 25. Principal dancer Yuan Yuan Tan will close the run on April 30. Tan debuted the title role in 2002.

“Romeo & Juliet” features lighting design by Thomas R. Skelton, Italian Renaissance designs by Jens-Jacob Worsaae and sword-fighting scenes choreographed by actor, teacher and film stuntman Martino Pistone.

A video capture of Romeo & Juliet inaugurated Lincoln Center at the Movies: Great American Dance in 2015, when it was shown at movie theaters nationwide, and the ballet has also been performed live at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. and the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Russia.

Tickets start at $29 and are available via the San Francisco Ballet website or by calling the box office at 415-865-2000.
