San Francisco Opera, based in San Francisco, California, is a long-standing performing arts company founded in 1923 and the oldest surviving opera company on the West Coast. It has established itself as a center for world-class opera and artistic innovation, with a history of expanding accessibility to audiences through technologies like supertitles and simulcasts. From its 1932 War Memorial Opera House, a Beaux-Arts building and the first municipally owned opera house in the United States, the company anchors its activities in San Francisco while presenting a repertoire that spans classic masterpieces and contemporary works. The organization is led by general director Matthew Shilvock (since August 2016) and music director Eun Sun Kim. It supports artists and audiences through initiatives such as Adler Fellows in Concert and the Emerging Stars Competition, and engages the community with events like Opera in the Park. In 2026, San Francisco Opera announced a partnership with the San Francisco Ballet and outlined plans for collaborations with major Shanghai performing arts institutions.
