This year—for one night only—immerse yourself in the cantankerous characters of Carmen at Carmen Encounter. Part opera, part party—you will watch Act I of Bizet’s Carmen on stage, and then become a part of the epic story yourself as you explore the steamy streets of Seville in the opera house lobby spaces, transformed into Carmen’s world. You have never seen the War Memorial Opera House like this before!
Grand Tier: Carmen’s Hideaway - Filled with passion, Carmen finds herself on the run, and you’re invited to come along for the ride! Take a step onto the outdoor balcony where campfires blaze and wild creatures come to life, or sit down with one of her camp’s well-known fortune tellers to learn your fate.

Say her name, Priyanka! The drag pop superstar totally smashed through the drag queen stereotype while she made her mark in traditional institutions as a legit artist. The origin story of Mark “Suki” Suknanan now known as Queen Priyanka started in the TV industry as a host on the legendary children’s network, YTV.
After 10 years of entertaining children, with the magic of drag - Queen Priyanka would be born and immediately start taking over the world of entertainment. Since winning the inaugural season of Canada’s Drag Race in 2020 - Queen Priyanka showed everyone that she is here to stay with her debut EP Taste Test earning over 20 million streams, becoming a lead on the Emmy Award-winning HBO series We’re Here, and acting roles in Netflix’s Glamourous and the upcoming film, Meet Me Next Christmas.
Described by Rolling Stone as “Fearless”, Queen Priyanka keeps proving that Drag queens can carve out a space in Pop music and get played on the radio by trusting her instincts and not playing by the rules. Breaking barriers is something Queen Priyanka is crossing off of her daily to-do list, and with her global fanbase begging for the release of her upcoming debut full-length album Devastatia, Queen Priyanka wants to make it known that she is first and foremost a pop star.
This year, we will vote at the national and civic levels. I can't think of a more consequential election cycle in my lifetime, and how we cast our ballots will determine what happens not only in Washington, D.C., and our entire country but also in our proverbial "backyard" here in San Francisco.
With more at stake on the ballot this year than ever, voting is the most important thing you can do! Early voting starts at City Hall on October 7, the same day ballots are mailed to registered voters across the City. With that in mind, I am sharing my endorsements for the national, state, and local elections on November 5, 2024.
Giving Them Their Flowers: An Art Show. Featuring works commissioned by the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District. "Living Lesbian Legends" by Tanya Wischerath & "Circle of Change" by Serge Gay Jr. At Queer Arts Featured (QAF), 575 Castro St., Nov. 1, 2024 - Jan. 5, 2025. Curated by Tina Aguirre.
The District is proud that we have commissioned art that will be featured in an exhibition at QAF.

Commissioning this art, creating art exhibitions, and installing murals in the neighborhood are aligned with our work to use racial, gender, and queer equity frameworks.

Witness what the New York Times says “will have audiences weeping with laughter while groaning in disgust.” As she puts it, "This show is called 'Don't Bring the Kids' for a reason. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're ready to laugh and let loose, then I'll see you there."
