Diversity, equity and community

OUR core VALUES

Diversity & Culture:

We respect the wide diversity of identities, races and ethnicities,

religions, nationalities, and sexual orientations within our community.

Equity:

We value the voices, experiences, cultures, intellect and multi-dimensionality

of people of color to contribute to the artistic excellence of SFO.

Inclusion:

We prioritize identifying and removing barriers to racial equity within our institution.

Community:

We value voicing and sharing our viewpoints with integrity even when difficult, unpopular or risky.

Transformation:

We value the ability of individuals and systems to change in ways that make racial justice possible.

Earn Your Wings is a San Francisco Opera initiative that invites patrons to engage with and support our community partnerships in meaingful and demonstrative ways. We are asking our audiences to deeply consider what it means to be a "global citizen" who participates in and advocates to support the arts, even as we fight to address critical societal issues, like homelessness.
