ON POINTE: San Francisco Ballet returns to the stage this weekend with two performances of 'Starry Night.'

We all need some dancing queens, young and sweet, to help us ease through the remainder of the summer. Stanford’s Frost Amphitheater heard that tune and gave us one better: a return to the San Francisco Ballet. This weekend, the renowned company returns to the stage for the first time post-pandemic with “Starry Nights,” a blend of multiple inspiring oeuvres, ranging from Tchaikovsky to the dulcet tones of Nina Simone. Pack your mask and proof of vaccination, and bring a blanket, reusable water bottle and bagged snacks to help make the night as delightful as can be.

Starry Nights
Fri-Sat, 7:30pm, $50+
Frost Amphitheater, Stanford
