"San Francisco Opera announced its 2026-27 season on Tuesday, including repertory fare like Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro and Puccini's Tosca alongside lesser-performed works like Verdi's Simon Boccanegra and Massanet's Manon. In preparation for a 2028 mounting of Wagner's full Ring cycle, the War Memorial Opera House will host the first of the cycle's four parts, Das Rheingold, as a standalone opera."
""When I saw this work in London last year, I was awed by the power of Thea's dramatic writing," said SF Opera's general director Matthew Shilvock of Mary, Queen of Scots, in a statement. "She brings the Tudor queen into vivid relief, revealing both the fierce determination and the profound vulnerability of an 18-year-old woman fighting to retain her agency against overwhelming odds.""
San Francisco Opera's 2026-27 season balances familiar repertory and underperformed works, including Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, Puccini's Tosca, Verdi's Simon Boccanegra and Massanet's Manon. The War Memorial Opera House will present Das Rheingold as a standalone production in preparation for a full Ring cycle planned for 2028. The season follows a strong 2025 run that featured a revival of Dead Man Walking, a praised Parsifal and the world premiere of The Monkey King. Thea Musgrave's 1977 opera Mary, Queen of Scots will be presented. Music Director Eun Sun Kim will conduct several mainstage productions and special programs.
