The final bow

Sacramento Ballet presents The Genius of Balanchine—featuring scenes from works by the great George Balanchine (1904-1983), artistic director of the New York City Ballet for 35-plus years, and the “father of American dance.” Sacramento Ballet co-director Carinne Binda is regarded as one of the best Balanchine coaches in the country; she is joined for this production by John Clifford, who stages Balanchine works for renowned ballet companies in France, Russia and the United Kingdom. This will be the final bow for Sac Ballet’s co-artistic directors Carinne Binda and Ron Cunningham, retiring after 30 years leading the company. 7:30pm Thu 6/14, Fri 6/15, Sat 6/16; 2pm Sun 6/17; $65; The Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for The Arts (home of B Street Theatre), 2700 Capitol Avenue; sacballet.org; (916) 443-5300.
