Item Description

San Francisco Ballet, the oldest professional ballet company in America, has emerged as a world-class arts organization since it was founded as the San Francisco Opera Ballet in 1933. Initially, its primary purpose was to train dancers to appear in lavish, full-length opera productions.

2008 marked the Company's 75th Anniversary Season and highlights included the revival of former San Francisco Ballet Director Lew Christensen's Filling Station, one of the oldest American folk ballets; an all-Robbins Program, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the master choreographer's death; the San Francisco Ballet premiere of West Side Story Suite; a tribute to San Francisco Ballet from three international companies (Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, The National Ballet of Canada, and New York City Ballet); and a New Works Festival of 10 world premieres by 10 of the dance world's most diverse and acclaimed choreographers including Julia Adam, Val Caniparoli, Jorma Elo, Margaret Jenkins, James Kudelka, Mark Morris, Yuri Possokhov, Paul Taylor, Stanton Welch, and Christopher Wheeldon. Other anniversary initiatives included a commemorative book, San Francisco Ballet at Seventy-Five; special exhibitions; an alumni reunion weekend; and the broadcast of Tomasson's Nutcracker in December 2008 on Great Performances' Dance in America series on PBS, produced in partnership with KQED Public Television in San Francisco. In January 2010, the Opening Night Gala, entitled Silver Celebration, honored Tomasson's 25th anniversary as artistic director of San Francisco Ballet.
