I saw the Opera Rigoletto! Such an incredible experience: Every aspect was top notch: Singing, Actor, Music, Sound system, Orchestra, Set and Costume Design, comfort of the seats, it was all AMAZING.
Ticket sales for the SF Opera Company only cover about 20% of the cost of the ticket. Yes, tickets are expensive, but this experience is not to be missed. I recommend you come early to a lecture before the performance, and also study up a bit about the Opera you will see on YouTube. Really an OUTSTANDING experience.

Beyond beautiful venue. Fantastic Opera. We saw Rigoletto and got a complimentary upgrade to the very front of the orchestra section. Fantastic performance and view. The only complaint, which really isn't one is that we were so close that we had to really move our heads to look up to the screen that translates the singing to English to follow the story line and by the end, my neck was sore. Would love a second screen option for those up front (like they have at the Sydney Opera House). Again, not a complaint really, just a notice.

Went to the opera. Parking was close and no problems entering the building. Beautiful building inside and out. In the heart of San Francisco. Everything is clean and sanitary. Very welcoming staff and accommodating. Seats comfortable, lighting perfect, and screens for those who are not seated close up. They go out of their way to make sure the entire experience exceeds expectation. I thoroughly enjoy this venue every time. Highly recommend
