On Saturdays, she and her husband, John, (then SF Symphony's French Horn first chair) would take all of us students to see the ballet movies shown at the Palace of Legion d'Honeur; we would all sit in the dark theatre with tears rolling down our cheeks. Most were British films, and of course the most influencial was "The Red Shoes."

She mentioned having designed the costumes for an upcoming S.F. ballet, but I can't recall which one. I think she said it was in May of this year. Is there any way I can find out which upcoming ballet she was involved with? I would love to attend. I was also trying to find an email for her, to let her know how nice it was to speak with her, but wasn't able to locate one. I apologize if this isn't the appropriate forum to ask these questions, but would appreciate any information you might have. Thank you.
