Review: San Francisco Opera stages a flashy new ‘Magic Flute’

Production channels 1920s German Expressionism and the world of silent film.

New fiction books, from Bay Area and Northern California authors, listed by release date.

Cooking demonstrations, live music and, of course, lots of artichoke dishes will be on hand Saturday and Sunday in Monterey.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. June 7, June 12, June 18 and June 21 and 2 p.m. June 16 at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco.

Bay Area cover bands and rock, folk, jazz and world music make up the free live outdoor music scene.

CAFILM Pride runs June 7-9 in San Rafael and “Songs of Earth” starts June 7 at the Roxie.

Pride started as a protest 50-some years ago; it has since morphed into an annual month-long commemoration of LGBTQ+ history and community.
