Editorial Review for San Francisco Opera – by Jeff Kaliss
In Short
What was already a world-class company got a world-class showcase in 1932, when the War Memorial Opera House became the home of the San Francisco Opera. The building bears a resemblance to City Hall because they were both designed by Arthur Brown Jr., also the architect of Coit Tower. Seismic retrofitting following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake provided an excuse both to update the building and to restore its splendor.

My wife and eye learned that we could get standing room tickets to the Opera for just ten dollars. Even if we had had to stand for the entire production it would have been a very enjoyable evening and has to be the best entertainment bargain in the city. Just arrive about an hour early and go to the side of the opera house on Grove to buy the tickets. Early arrival means you may get the preferred orchestra level spots that let you lean on a shoulder high wall at the back of the hall. We were given $155 seats by a couple who left at intermission. Your luck may vary!
Pros: Bargain price., World class opera.
Cons: Standing so long.
