Opening Nights
It's the on-air debut of Spark -- spotlighting what goes on behind the scenes at some of the hottest Bay Area opening nights and their last minute challenges. Become a part of San Francisco history with the gala celebrating the colossal new Asian Art Museum and see firsthand why it takes money to make money. Feel the tension and triumph as the staff of a small theater company, Teatro Visión de San Jose, defiantly mount their ambitious period production of a new work, "Conjunto," in the face of shrinking budgets and the deepening economic downturn. Finally, get the performers' view backstage at the San Francisco Ballet (sfballet.org) for a taste of the ballet classic "Don Quixote."
This program is not currently scheduled for broadcast.
