"San Francisco Ballet's New Works Initiative: A $60 Million Gift Sparks Creative Focus"

San Francisco Ballet has received a monumental $60 million donation from an anonymous donor, the largest in its 91-year history, with the majority of the funds going towards bolstering the company's endowment and financing the creation and acquisition of new works. The remaining amount will be used to cover operating costs in the upcoming seasons under the leadership of artistic director Tamara Rojo. This transformative contribution comes as the company aims to recover from pandemic-related financial strains and move towards creating modern classics.

The Future of Los Angeles Opera Without Plácido Domingo

The Los Angeles Opera is defining itself on its own terms after the resignation of Plácido Domingo, who had been instrumental in the creation of the company. The company is recovering from the loss of audience members and revenues since the pandemic, but attendance is showing improvement. The Los Angeles Opera is programming new work alongside the classics to reach new audiences. The company is working to regain its audience after the pandemic, and it is collaborating with Beth Morrison Projects to present new operas. The company is returning to the work it opened with in 1986, Verdi's "Otello," with Russell Thomas in the title role.
