Top Useful Tips
Tips are provided by Goldstar members and Smuin Ballet. Goldstar is not responsible for their content or accuracy.
Dress
- I dress up... but it doesn't matter... what others do.
- People should dress better for ballet, even for matinee
- When attending a performance of beauty, scruffy shorts or lounge clothes seem inappropriate
Parking And Transportation
- Plenty of parking available
- LOTS OF PARKING at the Palace of Fine Arts
- We parked on the street between the show and the reataurant
Food And Drinks
- Adequete
- Not great selection, but good enough, just don't expect quality.
- The pastry I had was really fresh and moist. Great quality.
Other
- For this type of performance, not a bad seat in the house!
- Rows 2-3 orchestra less than ideal -- they're not raked. Row 4 & back is better.

Smuin Ballet begins its 2009-2010 season with an exciting world premiere by Smuin Ballet Choreographer-in-Residence Amy Seiwert. Seiwert’s World Premiere is accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning group Kronos Quartet’s album Pieces of Africa, which reached number one on Billboard’s Top World Albums chart. The program continues with Michael Smuin’s Medea, a ballet of spellbinding theatrical power, weaving a story of passion, jealousy, and bloodthirsty revenge. And finally, a tribute-in-dance to the Chairman of the Board with Fly Me to the Moon, paying homage to the songs made famous by Frank Sinatra. “When Sinatra sings, you naturally want to dance,” said choreographer Michael Smuin. Fly Me to the Moon is the embodiment of the smooth and stylish melodies that have inspired generations, including his renditions of “The Way You Look Tonight,” “That’s Life,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” and many more.
