    This is a true polished professional performance of Midsummer by the SF Ballet. I've seen it numerous times with NYC Ballet, and this is totally on a par with the New York City Ballet standard. The Balanchine Trust requires that a Balanchine trained former dancer be hired to supervise the technical aspects, so that every company that dances a Balanchine ballet remains true to Balanchine's original intent.
