San Francisco Opera Tickets
San Francisco Opera is an American opera company based in San Francisco and recognized as the oldest surviving opera company on the West Coast. Founded in 1923 by Gaetano Merola, it presents staged opera productions at the War Memorial Opera House and maintains a performance archive documenting its history from 1923 to the present. The company has been associated with major repertory productions, U.S. debuts by leading singers, and American premieres of important 20th-century works. Its artistic profile also includes the Merola Opera Program and Adler Fellowship, which have helped train singers, pianists, and stage directors. San Francisco Opera has also been noted for its early history of summer seasons and for preserving records, photographs, and production materials through its archive.
