San Francisco Opera has awarded director Michael Cavanagh, who passed away on March 13, 2024 at the age of 62.
The director debuted at San Francisco Opera in 2012 with a production of “Nixon in China” and also led productions of “Susannah,” “Lucia di Lammermoor,” and “Svabda-Wedding” as part of the San Francisco Opera Lab in 2016. Finally, he created a new production of the Mozart-Da Ponte Trilogy between 2019-2022.
“It was clear from the moment Michael debuted with us in 2012 that his vision, energy and collaborative spirit resonated beautifully with the Company and this city,” said San Francisco Opera Dianne and Tad Taube General Director Matthew Shilvock in an official press statement. “We entered into a series of new productions with Michael that have defined so much of the artistic arc of the Company over the last decade. In recognition of his extraordinary impact on the artistry of our stage, we proudly awarded Michael our highest honor, the San Francisco Opera Medal. His beloved wife, Jackie Short, was able to share the news with him shortly before he passed.”
The company will celebrate the director this weekend with an event on April 21, 2024.
San Francisco’s Democratic Party entered a new era Friday night as candidates from the city’s moderate political camp, who won in a landslide in the March election, were sworn into office.
The governing body, officially known as the Democratic County Central Committee, or DCCC, also elected Nancy Tung, a career prosecutor and chief-level attorney working for the District Attorney’s Office, as the party chair.
“Thank you everyone for this distinct honor,” Tung said. “Hopefully, we will be able to unify as we go towards November.”
She admitted that there will be growing pains as the committee changes leadership, and that it’s going to take some time to heal division within the party, but many of the new members are committed to doing that.
Tung received most of the support, while some progressive DCCC members voted to abstain from the vote.
Tung’s election as party chair marks an inflection point in her tumultuous political career.
A veteran prosecutor and daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, Tung ran for district attorney in 2019 but lost to Chesa Boudin. In March 2020, she won a seat on DCCC, and Mayor London Breed appointed her to the powerful Police Commission soon after.
However, the Board of Supervisors shot down Tung’s nomination to the Police Commission. During the wave of protests following the murder of George Floyd by an officer in Minneapolis, Tung was seen as too friendly to police at a time when progressive leadership and criminal justice reform was ascendant in San Francisco.
In 2022, after Boudin was recalled, Tung was among the shortlisted candidates competing for Breed’s appointment to replace Boudin. But Breed ultimately chose Brooke Jenkins, and Tung later joined Jenkins’ administration.
The damage was discovered during a routine inspection Friday afternoon, Golden Gate Ferry Services spokesperson Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz told The Standard.
The cause and extent of the damage is unclear. Still, he said the agency suspended ferry rides between Sausalito and San Francisco “in the interest of safety and out of an abundance of caution” until the pier is repaired.
How long it’ll take to fix the pier is another open question.
But buses will be offered in lieu or ferry trips where possible, Cosulich-Schwartz assured.
“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience,” he added.
