OPERA OVERVIEW
It was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives. But just as Stela and Tuomas toast their marriage, a devastating secret reemerges that threatens to drive the couple apart—and expose the guilt Tuomas bears in an unconscionable crime. Innocence takes us into the complex emotional journey of a group of people recovering from inconceivable trauma. Innocence makes clear the power of the opera stage to explore critical stories in uniquely impactful ways. Innocence is performed by an international cast of singers and actors in this towering work sung and spoken in nine languages, co-commissioned by San Francisco Opera. Acclaimed by the New York Times as a “masterpiece," it is making its highly-anticipated American premiere in San Francisco.
Please note that the subject matter of this opera is about the difficult aftermath of a tragic high school shooting. There is information on the SF Opera website about the story. While It is incredibly moving and thought provoking, we encourage everyone to read about the opera to decide if the subject matter is appropriate for you.

NOTE:
- If you use a walker or wheelchair, notify the organizer at least five days prior to the event so we can ensure enough accessible seating for those who need it.
- As a courtesy, if you register & get a confirmed ticket for this event, please show up on time or cancel as far as you can in advance if you cannot attend. We've had problems with people registering for limited capacity events and not showing up, which deprives others of the opportunity and causes our organizers worry about and possibly delay the rest of the group waiting for missing people. If you are confirmed for a ticket and can't make it, simply reply to the confirmation email or the organizer as soon as you can to let us know if you need to cancel. Tickets will be handed out at the meeting spot near the Opera House before the performance.
Online registration for this event closes on May 23, 2024.
