Experience the ultimate convergence of ballet, fashion, music, and visual art at its finest at San Francisco Ballet’s 2025 Opening Night Gala on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.

Enjoy a decadent 3-course dinner at San Francisco City Hall compliments of McCalls Catering & Events, a one-night-only performance to celebrate the transcendent Season ahead curated by Artistic Director Tamara Rojo at the War Memorial Opera House, concluding with a high-energy after party to dance the night away with popular Bay Area DJs and a live band!
