San Francisco Ballet, under new director Tamara Rojo, has received a historic $60 million donation, the largest in its 91-year history. The majority will bolster the endowment and fund new works, while $10 million will cover operating costs. The company aims to create modern classics and expand its audience after facing financial strains from the pandemic. Rojo plans to commission works addressing social issues and enriching the art form. The gift is seen as an investment in her vision and the company's future.
