Our much anticipated opera season has arrived and after a glamorous opening night our attention turns to the Guild’s annual holiday party— ‘Tis the Season. The Westin St. Francis Union Square will host this elegant soirée in their spectacular private room, Alexandra’s, with views of festive Union Square. Please join us on Tuesday, December 2nd from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. as we celebrate this new era of San Francisco Opera and the Guild’s continuing support of the arts. Ring in the holiday season with friends while indulging in fine wines, spirits, and scrumptious hors d’oeuvres. Lively entertainment will highlight the evening in addition to a silent and live auction offering many unique gift ideas. Mark this date on your holiday calendar and invite your friends, as this beautiful venue will provide a perfect setting for slipping into the holiday spirit.

Your participation in this event ensures that the San Francisco Opera Guild will continue our tradition of introducing children to the beauty and excitement of opera through our educational outreach programs. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from ‘Tis the Season will fund the San Francisco Opera Guild sponsored performances at various health, youth and senior agencies during the month of December.

We appreciate your support and look forward to celebrating the holidays together while sharing the gift of opera with our community. Please do not hesitate to contact us at (415) 565-3204 and we hope to see you and your friends on December 2nd!

Tickets will be avilable at the door.  As of today, December 2, 2008, tickets are not longer available online or by phone.
