Founded in 1933, the SF Ballet is the oldest professional ballet company in America, and has emerged as a world-class company. From its earliest performance of Coppélia (1939), to the first American full-length production of Swan Lake (1940), to its magical modern-day performances, the SF Ballet has always been a can't-miss attraction.
About the Stern Grove Festival: every year since 1938, Sigmund Stern Grove -- a beautiful outdoor amphitheater at 19th and Sloat -- has been site of SF's free summer-long performing arts series.
