The company has been an integral part of San Francisco’s cultural fabric well in advance of its formal founding in 1977. Pippin’s English translations of operatic works have delighted and entertained San Francisco audiences since the mid-60s, at venues ranging from the Hungry I and Opus One in North Beach, to the venerable Old Spaghetti Factory. Its current venues include the Hillside Club in Berkeley, and is the only company still presenting opera at the jewel-box Gunn Theater at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Pocket Opera was voted Best Discovery in the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards 2019-2020. We invite you to discover the deeply personal experience that is a Pocket Opera performance.
