Inside the San Francisco Ballet's First-Ever Virtual Gala
"Leap Into the New Year" brought a black-tie evening into the era of social distance.
Lindsay Gauthier
On January 14th, the San Francisco Ballet performed an impressive new move: pivoting its annual gala to a virtual benefit.
The evening, which was hosted by company soloist Madison Keesler, featured excerpts from a new work by artistic director Helgi Tomasson as well as from pieces that will make their world premieres during the company’s 2021 virtual season. Two new principal dancers, Nikisha Fogo and Julian MacKay, made their SF Ballet debuts, and the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra provided the score.
