S.F. Ballet season opening

"What impresses me this year is the quiet ambition Tomasson exhibits," Hunt says. "He's very modest about the past accomplishments of the company, and this season they dive into big new productions like 'Onegin' and 'Don Quixote', as well as complicated premieres that call on not only the skills of the dancers, but also the musicians and designers and all the artists that must come together to make the next five months happen.

"He's built a strong organization, but it's been very carefully done with just the right soup�on of experimentation. As the Ballet heads toward its 80th anniversary, that's an underappreciated achievement."
