War Memorial Opera House

Pre-show dining, bars & more for War Memorial Opera House visitors.

• San Francisco Conservatory of Music

  The Conservatory's public performance calendar is excellent and tickets are inexpensive. The building's practice room availability for non-students varies — inquire about community practice room rentals. The location is ideal: steps from Davies Hall and the Opera House.

• Fort Mason Center Cultural Campus

  The Fort Mason Center's affordable rents have made it the home for smaller arts organizations that cannot afford Mission or SoMa commercial rates. The views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge from the piers are among the best in the city. Free parking in the Fort Mason lot.

• Cal Performances at UC Berkeley

  UC Berkeley students and faculty have access to practice room facilities. For non-university performers, the Cal Performances presenting calendar represents the Bay Area's access to international touring artists — the programming rivals any major presenting organization in the country.
