San Francisco Opera has released details about its annual Pride celebration, taking place on June 27.

Opera singer and winner of the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, Monét X Change is among the artists headlining this celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community. She will serve as emcee for the evening’s events. Soloists include mezzo-sopranos Jamie Barton and Nikola Printz and baritone Brian Mulligan. They will share the stage with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra conducted by Caroline H. Hume Music Director Eun Sun Kim.

The “genre- and era-spanning” program mixes classical arias with queer anthems and music showcasing LGBTQIA+  composers, librettists, songwriters, and themes. The evening will be enhanced by digital artist Tal Rosner’s video projections.

The Pride Concert will be held at the War Memorial Opera House. Complete program and event information will be announced at a later date.
