Mason’s Grammy-winning opera, The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, finally makes its premiere at San Francisco Opera in this new production with performances from September 22 – October 7, 2023.
“Under the baton of Michael Christie, Mason Bates’ score takes us on an operatic journey through the fragmented memory of love, betrayal, obsession, and death, weaving together classical lyricism and a techno soundscape formed from the sounds of early computing. A cutting-edge vision of opera and a meditation on the impact of technology in our lives.” – San Francisco Opera
“At long last, the Steve Jobs opera comes home to San Francisco! After travelling the globe in productions in 8+ cities, the opera comes to the place of its setting. One of the things that surprises people about this telling is the focus on the amazing role of Laureen Powell Jobs.” – Mason Bates
The (R)evolution of Steve Job’s was commissioned by San Francisco Opera, The Santa Fe Opera and Seattle Opera with support from Cal Performances and co-produced with Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
