Adela Zaharia will perform at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco on November 6, 2026. Zaharia is a Romanian composer and pianist known for a contemporary classical style often incorporating elements of minimalism, spectral music, and microtonality. Her compositions frequently explore themes of nature, spirituality, and the human condition, characterized by rich harmonic textures and a focus on sonic exploration. She often performs her own works as a soloist or with ensembles.

The War Memorial Opera House opened in 1932 as part of a larger civic center complex built to honor San Franciscans who served in World War I. Designed by architects Weeks and Day, the building is noted for its Art Deco architectural style and its acoustics, specifically tailored for operatic performances. It serves as the home of the San Francisco Opera, the San Francisco Ballet, and occasionally hosts concerts by visiting orchestras and soloists. The auditorium seats approximately 3,123 people. Throughout its history, it has hosted numerous internationally renowned performers across opera, ballet and music genres. The venue underwent significant renovations in the 1990s to modernize facilities while preserving its historical character.
