    An Evening of Opera Drag and Macabre Debauchery Hosted by Heklina

    Gals, ghouls, and divas in drag abound when SF Opera Lab pops up at Oasis (298 11th Street in the city) on Halloween Eve, October 30. There, legendary drag artist Heklina will host a night of opera, drag and debauchery featuring soprano Julie Adams, mezzo-soprano Renée Rapier, tenor Brenton Ryan, bass-baritone Brad Walker and pianist Jennifer Szeto.

    Come in costume or visit the costume booth provided by the San Francisco Opera Costume Shop for a chance to win SF Opera Lab swag and tickets. The performance begins at 8 pm (doors open at 7 pm) and the party continues after the show with a live DJ. This event is 21+ only with valid photo ID.

    “Drag Queen of the Opera!” is SF Opera Lab’s third pop-up, following sold-out events at Public Works and The Chapel in San Francisco’s Mission district earlier this year.

    San Francisco Opera’s SF Opera Lab pushes the boundaries of opera with intimate, eclectic and adventurous experiences. Launched in Spring 2016, SF Opera Lab explores innovative programming that celebrates the power of the human voice theatrically in intimate spaces beyond the War Memorial Opera House. You’ll find SF Opera Lab in the Company’s Taube Atrium Theater at the Wilsey Center for Opera, and popping-up in interesting venues around the Bay Area.

    Season Two of SF Opera Lab at the Taube Atrium Theater opens in February 2017. Check out sfoperalab.com and http://sfoasis.com/ for more information about “Drag Queen of the Opera!” and other great upcoming events. Follow Heklina at https://www.facebook.com/ Heklina/and via Twitter @Heklina
