Opera on Tap Growing in San Francisco
Opera on Tap is a non-profit organization whose mission is to break down the stereo-type that opera is a stuffy or elitist art form by bringing it to bars. Local singers let their hair down and bring you into what feels like an after hours back stage party, singing some of opera's best known and little known pieces in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We have a montly residency at Cafe Royale, one of San Francisco's beloved neighborhood cafes. We partner with local chamber music groups and create evenings filled with laughter, warmth and most importantly, great music. Co-Managing Divas Indre Viskontas and Katherine Gerber are committed to changing the perception of opera in the Bay Area.
What people are saying: This event was a rare and exceptional pleasure into what will hopefully become a more increasingly common venue! It reminded me of the good old days in North Beach, forty years ago, when one could have a good Italian meal while listening to live opera singers, but without the surrounding smoking! The singers were all young, gorgeous, and enchanting to hear! This is an event to not miss next time. ~Ruth Very nice venue, with beautiful voices. The harpsichord, cello and flute gave wonderful accompaniment and set the tone for the individual sets. ~Bob W. Scintillating and fun! Can't wait for the next Opera on Tap. ~Steve H. Great venue, wonderful singing. ~ Dr. Eric A wonderful experience - intimate, lively, fun and full of amazing talent. ~Jessica This was so well produced that I can not wait to go to the next one. Bravo!!! ~Robert F. This event was amazing! I enjoyed the music. The performances was spectacular. I am so looking forward to the next "Opera on Tap". BRAVO! ~Maura V. Don't know how they do it, but these fresh young classical singers just keeps getting better and better every performance! I loved the addition of the Baroque instruments too and hope these musicians will also be returning again! ~Ruth |
