[Dinner and a Show] Elektra Dinner before at Uccello (Six)

Elektra on June 11th at War Memorial Opera House

### Grief. Obsession. Vengeance.

In a brutal world where revenge is enacted with the axe, Klytämnestra has murdered her husband Agamemnon. Their daughter Elektra is consumed by her grief and is fixated on vengeance against her mother. Justice must be served.

San Francisco Opera’s production, praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as “extraordinary” and “stunning,” brings us to a modern-day museum and an exhibit on Elektra. A young woman grappling with her own life is pulled into the ancient narrative in this ingenious production by Keith Warner—a taut psychological thriller in which the past and the present become one.

Music Director Eun Sun Kim conducts Richard Strauss’ expressionist masterpiece, replete with one of the largest orchestras in the repertoire. The intense emotions of this Greek tragedy are rendered on a vast scale by Strauss’ massive soundscape and a score that winds up the dramatic tension with an intensity that can only lead to one horrific outcome.

Administrative Trivia
Uccello has a prix fixe menu for $55, three courses with multiple selections for appetizer, entree and dessert.

Dress is smart casual,

Each diner is responsible for their own orders and costs but we will have to consolidate and divvy up the final bill accordingly, if we cannot have separate checks.

Please bring cash or have Zelle or Apple Cash available.

Taxes and Fees
Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%) and probably an employee health mandate (3-10%), a tip (20%) may be automatically added, even on individual bills. I calculate each diner's orders separately unless the meal is shared or family style, and round up.

Parking and Transportation
MUNI: California Street Cable Car is 8 blocks away, 49, 47, Civic Center Muni KLMN
BART: Civic Center
Finding street parking in Civic Center/Hayes Valley is usually difficult.
Parking garage can be found nearby (3-4 blocks)

Use event comments for Car Pooling and Ride Sharing.
