Adapted by SF Ballet associate artistic director Antonio Castilla and danced by SF Ballet School trainees and Level 8 students to recorded Tchaikovsky, the show has an on-stage narrator who guides children through the story and gives Odette an uplifting ending in place of the traditional tragedy. The performance runs about 80 minutes including a 20-minute intermission. Lobby doors open 45 minutes before curtain for pre-show activities and participatory dancing, and every show has a quiet space, stroller parking and concessions. Zone 1 and 2 seats include the Enchanted Experience, with early entry and a character photo. The Saturday 3 PM show is a sensory-friendly performance. ## Similar picks in San Francisco - [Sensory-Friendly Performance: Tiny Dances: Swan Lake — Palace of Fine Arts Theatre](https://grassyknees.com/san-francisco/activities/sensory-friendly-performance-tiny-dances-swan-lake-palace-of-fine-arts--listing-86e110035733b1dde73c185b) — Sat, Nov 7 · 3:00 PM – 4:20 PM · Palace of Fine Arts Theatre · All ages · Paid · sensory-friendly · checked Oct 27.
