This building has charm & is fun to take pictures in between the performances. All views from every section are nice. Call the Cafe at The Opera at least 24 hour in advance to skip lines and have drinks/food waiting for you during intermission. SF Ballet & Opera have a fantastic collection of props, stage back drops, and costumes. It's part of what makes performances here so spectacular. The building is historically protected and explains why all women's bathrooms are on the south side of the building and men's on the north (women: right of stage & men: left) This is also why the seats are so out-dated, uncomfortable, and close together.
