strike was announced Saturday afternoon<\/a>, prompting the cancelation of the Opera’s 104th season opening night and many other performances. Musicians said over the weekend they had been in negotiation with the Opera right up until Saturday\u2019s scheduled opening night performance but could not reach an agreement.<\/p>\n\u201cI am deeply grateful that we have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, one that addresses important structural changes while providing a fair agreement for our Musicians,\u201d San Francisco Opera General Director Matthew Shilvock said. \u201cI want to thank both negotiating committees and recognize the leadership of Mayor Lurie, Matthew Goudeau and the mediators. All have worked tirelessly over the past week to realize this agreement. We look forward to welcoming our talented company members and guest artists, as well as our cherished patrons and donors, back to the theater. Most of all, we look forward to coming together again and reconnecting through the collective beauty of the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are heartened to have reached a tentative deal that provides a fair contract and stability for the members of the orchestra,\u201d San Francisco Opera Orchestra Associate Principal Oboist and Chair of the Orchestra Negotiating Committee Gabe Young said. \u201cWe are grateful to Mayor Lurie and his team, who put in long hours over the past several days to help broker this agreement, and we want to thank the public and Opera patrons for their patience and support through what has been a challenging process for our musicians. We look forward to working together to build on the progress being made at the San Francisco Opera, and we cannot wait to return to the pit to begin this new season and perform once again for the company we love.\u201d<\/p>\n
