San Francisco Ballet gala leaves guests 'SPELLBOUND,' but Nancy Pelosi was the NIGHT'S STAR. The same night Nancy Pelosi used her gold and black pens with her name written on them, delivered on silver trays, she goes to a ballet called "SPELLBOUND." You can't make this stuff up.  The witch and Spellbound. How appropriate is that? "Being spellbound was something done to witches who couldn't control or abuse their powers to restrain them."   SOUNDS LIKE NANCY. Can't seem to CONTROL the power she thinks she has. "As guests entered City Hall for the San Francisco Ballet’s 2020 season-opening gala on Thursday, Jan, 16, their eyes were drawn upward to the building’s famed dome, twinkling with more than 1,000 feet of lights while LED-lit trees set the scene below. The theme of the gala was “Spellbound,” and for one night, the rotunda was transformed into an enchanted forest while the ceiling became a starry sky that held patrons captive. As costumed fairies and wood sprites mingled with guests, the 87-year-old company celebrated both new beginnings and notable anniversaries that drew arts patrons like honorary chair Thomas Horn, Dede Wilsey, Charlotte and George Shultz, Yurie and Carl Pascarella, and even a surprise appearance by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi. Speaker in the house Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi INSPIRED A RUSH of photographers — and guests with smartphone cameras — when she walked into the box hallway during intermission. Pelosi’s presence was unexpected for many, given the impeachment proceedings currently under way in Washington, D.C. For all the dance stars on the stage, it was a politician who had the biggest celebrity moment at the gala. https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/dance/sf-ballet-gala-leaves-guests-spellbound-but-nacy-pelosi-was-the-nights-star"
