.sfballet will present its final program of the 2021-2022 season this week, and it also will mark a page in history as the company's artistic director and choreographer Helgi Tomasson steps down after 37 years.
For decades the San Francisco Ballet has been making magic inside the War Memorial Opera House. The chief magic maker of the last 40 years, Helgi Tómasson, has been the artistic director and choreographer. As he prepares to step down, he reflects on his accomplishments and tells us what to expect in the next chapter of his life.
It was the first full-length ballet he staged in San Francisco, as he helped the then-regional ballet leap onto the world stage. Along the way, Tomasson has taken the company on world tours, showcasing classical work and new pieces by emerging choreographers.
