It’s A Wonderful Life • San Francisco Opera
“It’s A Wonderful Life just might be the opera we need right now. After a year of devastating fires, mass shootings, political turmoil and paralyzing uncertainty, Jake Heggie’s opera has arrived at the War Memorial Opera House with a simple, uplifting message: ‘no one is a failure who has friends.’ It couldn’t be more timely, or more heartfelt. By librettist Gene Scheer, the opera emphasizes the story’s central message that second chances are always possible.”
