Like many performing arts groups, we are "homeless" for the time being. Residing on a 7x7 sq. mi. peninsula has its downsides, like the lack of space and the high price of available space. I'm always endlessly pleased at hearing that some hotel is closed to make room for apartment housing downtown. It shows the importance of people, even in a large city.
SFLO has been searching for a new rehearsal space for over a year now. It wasn't too much an issue until now. Staging rehearsals began last night and we only have a location for one more. Saturday's rehearsal and onward is still in limbo. It's vaguely unsettling.
Thus, if anyone knows of a vacant space that would be fitting for an opera rehearsal... One that could hold upwards of 40 people, a piano, 20 music stands, a truck full of props, and so forth, please let me know. Because they, like gold dubloons, don't grow in trees.

Very happy to learn that htere is (or will be) a Lyric Opera in SF. :)
I am in no way a right person to recommend or suggest a place, but still... Are venues like palace of Legion of Honor or Fort Mason (where Merolla performs) available for you?
Actually, we have our performances at the Legion of Honor right now. It's a wonderfully gorgeous theatre. I was mostly thinking in terms of rehearsal space, small rooms and the like.
Thanks for the steer to Fort Mason. That may actually be where we wind up!
