San Francisco Ballet: Starry Nights at Frost Amphitheater

San Francisco Ballet holds its title as the most well-respected ballet company in the United States. The reason behind this is that it is the oldest ballet company in the country – plus, it produces outstanding performers. It was founded in 1933 under the leadership of ballet master Adolph Bolm. It was formerly known as the San Francisco Opera Ballet but has since shortened its name to San Francisco Ballet.

It is among the leading dance companies in the world, with over 100 annual performances. Dancers from the San Francisco Ballet are artists and professionals with stage presences that capture the amazement of their audiences.

San Francisco Ballet is known for pushing boundaries in dance. They expect nothing less than what they see a dancer can bring to the art. This is because San Francisco Ballet has a history of making history. The performers hailing from the group have made audiences all over the world wow and gasp at their incredible performances.
