Classic Opera Simulcast
Ongoing
Bringing the opera to as big an audience as possible can be challenging, if not impossible. Once reserved for the elite, it is now brought for free to any classical music amateurs (upon reservation). The Yerba Buena Center for the arts has partnered with San Francisco Opera to give access to live retransmissions of performances held at the opera house. For example, on June 22, 2007 a live simulcast of Mozart's Don Giovanni was retransmitted in the auditorium of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts with exceptional quality, thanks to high-definition broadcast standard facilities installed in the American opera house. The performance itself was of quality with the remarkable acting and chemistry between Matiusz Kwiecien (Don Giovanni) and Oren Gradus (Leporello). Of the female figures, the personality and voice of Twyla Robinson (Donna Elvira) was particularly outstanding. Check YBCA website for upcoming simulcasts.There are events happening monthly.
