SanFran Opera offers deal minutes before curtain-up

SanFran Opera offers deal minutes before curtain-up

Forget the on-stage drama.

San Francisco Opera has got itself into a knife-edge thrller with its orchestra musicians, who are out of contract.

On Friday night, moments before Un Ballo in Maschera, the Orchestra agreed a one-month extension to the previous contract. It runs to the end of September.

What happens next? Bite your nails.

The musicians say: ‘While this is a positive step forward, there is still much work to be done to ensure that we can reach a multi-year agreement that provides stability and a path forward both for orchestra musicians and the organization as a whole.’
