California Theatre

Vulture recently featured us in a story about ways arts organizations are mitigating the devastating effects of COVID-19. With the sudden wave of unemployment h...itting theatres across the country, we are proud to announce the creation of the Opera San Jose Artists and Musicians Fund, an emergency cash reserve that we will draw from in the months ahead to provide support to the musicians, singers, carpenters, stitchers, designers, and other hourly company members that make our productions possible and will be deeply affected by this pandemic.

All, with the current concerns and the guidelines that are not allowing events of more than 1,000 people, the upcoming performances of "Nakamatsu Plays Beethove...n" has been moved to June 6th and 7th. We have updated our Facebook Event page as well as the website to reflect this change. Please disregard older posts that reference the March dates for this event. "20 Years Elena Sharkova Anniversary Concert" has likewise been rescheduled for May 10th. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call the box office at (408) 286-2600.

March 8th is the last day of the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival until our reschedule for August 16 - 30th. Drop by for the last showings of amazing films ...until the summer!
