Caitlyn Jenner to Speak at SF Opera House in February

There is living large, and then there is Caitlyn Jenner. The well-known transgender woman clearly lives life to its fullest, with the whole world sharing in her personal highs and lows via her hit reality shows. Jenner is also 6’2”, and when high heels are added, she presents a towering figure who really does seem larger than life.

It struck us as kismet that Jenner will be appearing on February 29 at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Even the most emotional opera production would seem to pale in gravitas to Jenner’s true story.

She is no stranger to media attention or high achievement. In 1976, Jenner represented the United States and broke the world record by scoring 8,634 points in the decathlon at the Olympic Games in Montreal, earning the title of “World’s Greatest Athlete.”

2015 has been an incredible year for Jenner too. In April 2015, she revealed to the world that she is a transgender woman. She first told her story during an ABC News 20/20 special interview with Diane Sawyer. The two-hour primetime show was a ratings smash, drawing 17 million total viewers—the highest for the show in 15 years.

On June 1, 2015, she revealed her new name and look on the July cover of Vanity Fair. The cover image drew more than 9 million unique visitors to Vanity Fair’s website in a single day, the most ever for the site. Jenner also became an instant trending topic on social media, attracting one million Twitter followers in just over four hours, setting a new Guinness world record.

In July, she was honored with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2015 ESPYs. The awards show, which aired for the first time on ABC, averaged 7.7 million viewers overall, a 253% increase over past years.

This past summer, Jenner also launched her new E! Network show, I Am Cait, for which she is an executive producer. The show documents her life post-transition as she learns more about the transgender community, and allows viewers to meet a diverse group of transgender people.

Off screen, Jenner finds time to enjoy her own hobbies including flying planes, racing cars in Grand Prix events, working on her golf game, and spending time with her children Burt, Casey, Brandon, Brody, Kendall, and Kylie; stepchildren Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob; and her seven grandchildren.

Next year, Jenner embarks on a short tour of speaking engagements, appearing in Toronto, Vancouver, Denver and Seattle, in addition to San Francisco. The tour is part of Unique Lives Experiences, a women’s lecture series. We’re not sure what Jenner will talk about, but if the past is any indication of the future, expect surprises, humor, great stories, and that Jenner will give it her all.
