Janos Gereben reports on SF Classical Voice:
The San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center (WMPAC), the organization that runs the theaters and concert halls in San Francisco’s Civic Center, will add a new screening technology to check for weapons upon entering the War Memorial Opera House and Davies Symphony Hall. The invisible technology system provided by Evolv Express is set to be implemented this September.
“WMPAC will be the first dedicated performing arts center in San Francisco to install Evolv Express, a frictionless security technology increasingly utilized in arenas and performance halls throughout the world,” the organization’s announcement read. “WMPAC and its three resident companies — SF Symphony, SF Opera, SF Ballet — are phasing in implementation of the system to minimize disruption to the performance schedule and patron experience. The system will be live and in-operation at Davies on Sept. 4 and on Sept. 14 at the Opera House. The system will be operational at the Veterans Building at a later date…”
