## Resource

San Francisco Opera’s opening night collapsed as union musicians walked out over a bitter contract dispute, citing a proposed 26% pay cut that would slash their wages back to 2015 levels — even after inflation. Management claims financial strain from a $15 million deficit, despite sold-out shows and an $8 million donation surge, while musicians highlight the general director’s soaring salary and argue the opera is financially healthy. With no resolution in sight, the strike threatens to derail the entire season as artists fight to preserve fair wages and the future of the company.
