San Francisco Opera's General Director Matthew Shilvock said in a press statement, "It is heartbreaking to have to make this announcement today. San Francisco Opera will continue to present virtual events and experiences, stream opera performances from its archives and offer new digital content throughout this period. San Francisco Opera announced the difficult decision to cancel its Fall 2020 Season due to the ongoing pandemic.īased on current public health information and state and local guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the fall season -scheduled to open on September 11 with the Opening Night Celebration concert conducted by Music Director Designate Eun Sun Kim- cannot move forward as planned.
