Final Dress Rehearsals

Bring your group to experience live opera in the War Memorial Opera House.

DEC invites community groups to watch final dress rehearsals--the last run-through of a production, with full costumes, makeup, lightning, and sound, before it opens to the public.

San Francisco Opera Guild enables school groups to attend final dress rehearsal performances and experience through their Student Dress Rehearsals program.

War Memorial Opera House interior house right with production onstage and a live audience.

WHO IT'S FOR

Community groups as such as K-12 public school groups, homeschool groups, university groups, seniors, culturally affiliated community groups, and local arts organizations, et cetera.

Idomeneo

Amidst a terrible storm, Idomeneo unknowingly promises the god Neptune the life of his own son Idamante. In this new Lindy Hume production, stunning projections of craggy coastlines and raging seas reverberate with Mozart’s majestic score.
