San Francisco Ballet is back in the Opera House, looking strong, with two very different yet captivating programs of premieres and repertory works by choreographers Helgi Tomasson, Cathy Marston, William Forsythe, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins.
The Ballet’s Feb. 1 performance was not perfect, but Helgi Tomasson’s last season opener unveiled a triple bill that began tentatively and ended full steam.
