Opening Night of the 2008 San Francisco Ballet displayed a spectacular showcase of nine stellar performances in three acts, a fitting beginning to the 75th anniversary season of the oldest ballet company in the United States.

Vollmar danced with the SF Ballet from 1939 – 1948 and later taught at the SF Ballet School.
