SAN FRANCISCO WAR MEMORIAL OPERA HOUSE SEATING CHART CODE

The Dolby Family is generously offering 100 ‘Opera for the Bay’ seats for every mainstage performance.

SAN FRANCISCO WAR MEMORIAL OPERA HOUSE SEATING CHART CODE

Throughout the centennial season, $10 tickets in prime seating sections will be available to anyone with a Bay Area mailing address zip code (beginning with 940–954) who has not attended San Francisco Opera in the past three years. “As the company celebrates 100 years of producing opera in the Bay Area, the Dolby Family is providing a new benefit to residents. If all seats were $10, how many would need to be sold to make up the company’s approximately $80 million operating budget for the season? (Apparently 8 million, which would require 2,667 performances in the 3,000-newly refurbished-seat Opera House.)Īnd now, to the headline item: $10 in 2022? “Some seats” in September at the world premiere of John Adams’s Antony and Cleopatra may cost many hundreds of dollars and be available only with donations. The War Memorial opened in 1932, but SF Opera was founded in 1923, performing in the Civic Auditorium, justifying 2022–2023’s centennial designation.
