After making its triumphant U.S. Premiere and playing to sold-out houses, John Neumeier's superlative work of dance-theater returns. Featuring an evocative score by Lera Auerbach, and danced by the prestigious San Francisco Ballet, this heart-wrenching story of sacrifice and unrequited love comes to life against dazzling scenic, costume and lighting designs.

This production of the famous ballet has been reset to take place during the 1915 San Francisco World's Fair.
