A Message from our General Director & CEO

Dear Friends, Maestro Marcheso and I begin building each season with a simple but urgent question: What story does San José need to hear right now? In a city defined by innovation, diversity, and constant reinvention, we are proud to present a season that reflects the questions and responsibilities of our moment: Don Giovanni, Fiddler on the Roof, Doctor Atomic, and Carmen. Though these works span centuries and continents, together they explore power, freedom, and the consequences of our choices—reminding us that opera does more than entertain; it challenges, inspires, and deepens our understanding of one another. Everything we do stands on the foundation Irene Dalis built, and with the extraordinary artists who bring these stories to life on our stage, Opera San José continues to shape the future of the art form. None of it happens without you. Your subscription supports our artists, our musicians, and the next generation of audiences, ensuring that opera thrives in the cultural heart of Silicon Valley. I invite you to subscribe today and join us for this bold and unforgettable season.
