San Francisco Opera Presents “The Future is Now”

San Francisco Opera’s 102nd season continues in November with a variety of performances and events.

Along with Georges Bizet’s Carmen (November 13–December 1) and the Carmen Encounter (November 21), November brings two annual, year-end concerts showcasing the Company’s resident artists, orchestra and chorus.

Taking place in Herbst Theatre on Friday, November 15, The Future Is Now features the 2024 Adler Fellows: sopranos Georgiana Adams, Caroline Corrales, Arianna Rodriguez and Olivia Smith; mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz; tenor Thomas Kinch; baritone Samuel Kidd; bass-baritones Jongwon Han and James McCarthy; and pianists Julian Grabarek and Yang Lin.

Accompanied by the San Francisco Opera Orchestra under the baton of Benjamin Manis, who makes his San Francisco Opera debut leading Bizet’s Carmen (opening November 13), the Adlers will perform scenes and arias from operatic works, including classics by Mozart, Handel and Verdi and an excerpt from Kevin Puts’ The Hours.

Information about the 2025 Adler Fellowship Program participants will be announced at a later date.

Tickets for The Future Is Now on November 15 range from $34–$69. For tickets, visit sfopera.com, the San Francisco Opera Box Office at 301 Van Ness Avenue or call (415) 864-3330.
