Hello! We look forward to seeing you at the San Francisco Opera House (across the street from City Hall) on Sunday, September 29th. May, the event organizer, will be wearing a Green Griffin scarf. We encourage you to arrive around 1:30 PM, as we’ll head inside by 1:45 PM. If you’re running late, text/email May with your ETA as soon as possible. As this update is being posted publicly for easy reference, we are not including May's contact information; you can find it the email sent from [email protected] with the subject line "PLEASE READ: Event Logistics & Seating for MHC @ SF Opera: The Handmaid’s Tale".

We will be sitting in BAL3 (see below image), close to BAL2. Those who registered earlier (ending with contribution #787345) will be sitting towards the middle and those who registered later (contribution #787346 and onward) will be sitting on the left hand side of the stage. We unfortunately are not able to accommodate any refunds or last-minute additions to our group at this point, as we purchased a block of seats in advance.

Important Notes

• Wear what makes you feel comfortable, but please avoid wearing strong scents.
• Children under age 3, including babies in arms, are not allowed.
• All bags are subject to search. Please see the SF Opera’s Bag Policy here.
• All performances begin promptly at their scheduled times. Latecomers will not be seated until the first intermission and are invited to the North Dress Circle Lounge to view a livestream of the performance.
• This opera will be performed in English, and there will also be English supertitles projected above the stage.
• Note that “[t]he right times to applaud can get confusing, especially depending on what you're seeing. The easiest approach is to wait for someone else to start clapping, and then join along. A brief silence after singing doesn't always mean it's applause time.” (via HuffPost)
