SAN FRANCISCO

Art-lovers’ eyes are on the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, set to open in October in the formerly industrial Dogpatch neighbourhood. With a focus on social justice, it debuts with an installation by painter and sculptor Jeffrey Gibson, of Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, and a group exhibit celebrating Black women across sculpture, photography, painting and textiles.

Over in the historic Civic Center district, meanwhile, the San Francisco Opera company is preparing for its 100th anniversary in September. The centennial celebrations kick off in spectacular fashion with the world premiere of Antony and Cleopatra, a new opera written for the occasion by composer John Adams. It runs until 1 July 2023, alongside new productions and old favourites — plus a roster of special events, including a La traviata-themed party, backstage tours and exhibitions all over the city.
