The season opener was a first-ever collaboration of its kind between the SF Symphony and the San Francisco-based African-American Shakespeare Company . They performed Felix Mendelssohn's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at Davies Symphony Hall. AASC artistic director Peter Callender directed the actors on stage, including guest stars Chris Sullivan from 'This Is Us.'
After a scaled back event last year, Friday's Opening Night Gala returned with full glamour and high fashion. The symphony welcomed hundreds of guests with a blue carpet and colorful performers on stilts and in costume. Concertgoers also enjoyed different dining experiences. Proceeds from the night support the symphony's artistic, community, and education programs year-round, which reach nearly half a million concertgoers and more than 75,000 Bay Area students.
