It pays to read opera season announcements. My goodness, @nikaprintz and @ngranner as Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in @OperaParallele's "Balls" should be amazing! Plus a @davidtlittle opera in the same program. And then @MayaKherani appears later in the season. Woo hoo!

.@OperaParallele's revisiting of the "The Shining" is at once familiar and eerily off-kilter, writes @JoshuaKosman. The ingenious operatic adaptation is playing this weekend only at @ybca. trib.al/iSk9m1Q

#AlfredMolina wants YOU to come to the #SB1116 rally this Thursday, 9/8 at 10am! The #EquitablePayrollFund comes down to @cagovernor #Newsom now—and he needs to know you care about getting arts workers paid! RSVP for the Pasadena and Eureka rallies: linktr.ee/sb1116ca.
Get to know our grantees! @OperaParallele merges tradition with innovation to re-invent the power of opera in our modern world. One example is their fully staged premiere of @lembitbeecher's 'Sophia’s Forest', with libretto by @moscotweets, presented in February 2022.

My happy #SanFrancisco Sunday w/ Mike began reveling in @OperaParallele's glorious production of @philipglass's La Belle et La Bete based on Cocteau's film, staged @SFJAZZ. Next, soda w/ kinky male troops @sfeaglebar. Lotta silliness and flesh. Ended @Rainbow_Grocery w/ Matt.
