San Francisco Opera's Homecoming: A Night to Remember

After a long and difficult hiatus due to the pandemic, the San Francisco Opera is thrilled to announce its homecoming event, 'Live and in Concert: The Homecoming'. This special evening will feature Music Director Eun Sun Kim returning to the War Memorial stage alongside two principal singers from her 2019 debut production of Rusalka.

The event promises to be a truly unforgettable experience, with pre-curtain and intermission receptions taking place on the Loggia in the Opera House and a dinner following the concert in the Green Room of the Veterans Building. Additionally, the concert will be transmitted live in high definition from the stage of the War Memorial to the 71-foot-high Mitsubishi Electronic Diamond Vision Board.

This special event marks not only the opera's reopening after its pandemic hiatus but also Music Director Eun Sun Kim's reunion with principal singers Rachel Willis-Sørensen and Jamie Barton. Kim, who is the company's first woman and Asian music director, has made a lasting impact on the opera world with her unique musicality and phrasing.

Kim's conducting debut in 2019 received unanimous acclaim from the orchestra, cast, critics, and audiences alike. Her return to the War Memorial stage promises to be just as impressive, if not more so.

The event will take place live on September 10 at the War Memorial and will also be telecast free of charge to SF Giants' Oracle Park. This is an opportunity for opera fans from all over the city to come together and celebrate the return of live music to San Francisco.

Don't miss this special night as the San Francisco Opera comes home in a big way with 'Live and in Concert: The Homecoming'. With its rich history, stunning performances, and unforgettable music, this event is sure to be one for the books.
