Tremendous with a wide range of seat prices. I was between choosing the wing on the orchestra level, or center in the Dress Circle, and glad I went with the elevated area (for the nutcracker). Great view, same price, maybe less acoustically …

The Opera House is stunning. SF Ballet performed a stunningly magical Nutcracker. Highly recommend for all ages.

There are some incredible performances at the opera house. We saw the Nutcracker and everything was very well done. I was especially impressed by the orchestra and the passion of the conductor. You can buy drinks and snacks to enjoy during the show. It's also conveniently locating near some great restaurants.

There are now almost 100 auto burglaries per day. Last year the State reduced this crime from a felony to a misdemeanor and there is zero effort to catch these thieves. Probably a majority of the perpetrators are "homeless" drug addicts and local government doesn't care.
