Our newest exhibition, “San Francisco Opera: A Centennial Celebration” is now on display! San Francisco Opera has presented renowned operatic performances for one-hundred seasons, drawing international superstars, commissioning exciting new productions, and debuting legendary singers. One of the world’s most complex art forms, opera combines libretto, or the text of a long musical work, with vocal and instrumental music, acting, dance, costuming, wig making, makeup, set construction, prop making, lighting, and audio-visual work. San Francisco Opera debuted on September 26, 1923, with La Bohème by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924) at the Exposition Auditorium (now the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium).
