San Francisco Ballet pulls out of Kennedy Center performances

The San Francisco Ballet has withdrawn from a series of performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the company said Saturday, in the latest cancellation during the Trump administration’s takeover of the institution.

In a statement, the ballet company said its board of trustees had decided to call off the five-day run of performances that was scheduled for late May.

“SF Ballet looks forward to performing for Washington, D.C., audiences in the future,” the statement said.
