The performance is available to stream through 12 p.m. Friday at SF Ballet’s website, Facebook, IGTV and YouTube. 

The song list includes “Overture,” “All is Full of Love,” You’ve Been Flirting Again,” Bachelorette,” Vokuro,” Frosti,” The Gate,” “Hyperballad” and “The Anchor Song.”

The streamed performance is part of SF Ballet’s weekly series, meant to stay connected with fans and fundraise for the nonprofit organization during the COVID-19 pandemic..
