10, 2021, the opening night of the SF Opera season. With the postponement, gone is the hope for the “refurbished” Opera House reopening on Sept. In 2015, 610 balcony and 278 balcony circle seats were upgraded, which left for the future 1,174 orchestra, 274 grand tier, 596 dress circle seats, and creation of new accessible-seating areas. It was not an easy decision because the final phase of the $3.7 million Opera House seat replacement installation, scheduled for May–August, 2021, has been in the plans for years, and actually began in 2013, when192 box seats were upgraded. The answer: two consecutive closures, crippling the two organizations further.īut as of today, the shadow of that second closure has lifted because the “landlord,” the SF War Memorial Performing Arts Center, agreed to postpone a project previously scheduled to close the Opera House for more than three months next year. What could be worse than the closure of the SF War Memorial Opera House by COVID-19, making SF Opera and SF Ballet homeless, from March 7 to an unknown future date? So many seats, so much work ahead | Credit: Brandon Patoc
