Channel description
Founded in 1923, San Francisco Opera is the oldest surviving opera company on the West Coast and a leader in arts education and innovation.
It all started with a Neapolitan conductor, Gaetano Merola, who noticed a hunger for opera in his travels to San Francisco. He was struck with inspiration: Why not give San Francisco its very own resident opera company?
On September 26, 1923, San Francisco Opera came into being with its very first performance: a production of "La Bohème." Ever since, the company has been destination for world-class talent and incomparable artistry.
