Drew Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) What fantastic news! Congratulations to Tamara Rojo, her team, and San Francisco Ballet-- If all goes well, then in the next 2 years I will be in a position to make occasional trips to San Francisco. I would have loved to see both of the two programs they have done so far this season. Edited February 15 by Drew Link to comment
California Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Fantastic news for the SF Ballet, but it seems most of the funds will support new works. I still hope they can stage her version of Raymonda in North America. Mixed reviews, but a noble effort. Link to comment
