SAN FRANCISCO, CA (November 15, 2024) — Monét X Change, the multi-hyphenate performer most well known for her appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race, will emcee San Francisco Opera’s Pride Concert on Friday, June 27, 2025 at the War Memorial Opera House. Classically trained in opera 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. Expanding upon the Company’s annual Pride celebrations, the evening includes a special concert, immersive projections and more.
Mezzo-sopranos Jamie Barton and Nikola Printz and baritone Brian Mulligan will share the stage with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra conducted by Caroline H. Hume Music Director Eun Sun Kim for a genre- and era-spanning program mixing classical arias with queer anthems and music showcasing LGBTQIA+ composers, librettists, songwriters and themes. The high-octane evening will be enhanced by digital artist Tal Rosner’s video projections. Complete program and event information will be announced at a later date.

I've never seen Monét X Change, but Barton, Printz, and Mulligan are all great artists and I think I will have to go, genre mixing or not. I wonder if there will be a trapeze for Printz.

I hope we have many years ahead of us with Nikola Printz returning for local performances. I've been impressed with everything I've seen/heard them do and now regret not catching them as Carmen at Festival Opera.
Same here! Their Schwabacher concert in 2022 was so personal, so different, so gorgeously presented.
They're singing the mezzo solo in Das Lied von der Erde with the Vallejo Symphony on January 19. I may be out of town (the Carthage-only Troyens in Seattle!) but if I'm around, I'll be going.
