dance night

Last Thursday was opening night of the San Francisco Ballet’s Program 3, and we were lucky enough to see it. It was beautiful, and for a non-fan like Seb, the mix of three very different mini-ballets was less of a snoozefest than a feature-length production. He was a good sport.

As equally exciting as seeing the world-renowned San Francisco Ballet in action was going to the War Memorial Opera House for the first time. Built in 1932, the Opera House was every bit as gorgeous as I’d expected.
