The write up from another SF newspaper. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Turn, turn, turn San Francisco Ballet will unveil a new production of the classic Petipa story ballet "Don Quixote," give company premieres of works by Sir Kenneth MacMillan and Christopher Wheeldon, and offer three world premieres in 2003, the company announced this week.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><A HREF="http://www.examiner.com/ex_files/default.jsp?story=X0315SFBw" TARGET=_blank>more...</A>I'm interested in all the Spanish flavored offerings. Do you think they are trying to capitalize on their wealth of latino talent?

That's one heck of a season! I wonder if anyone has thought about sharing the sets and costumes with the RB as their borrowed Australian production was dullsville writ large - no one had a good word for it. [This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited March 16, 2002).]

Many of us who saw Gonzalo Garcia dance in London last year will be delighted that he has been promoted to Principal.
