Music director; a September report that she might resign during the strike was never confirmed

San Francisco Opera and its orchestra reached a tentative four-year contract on Sept. 17, ending a five-day strike that had cancelled opening night. The deal runs retroactively from Aug. 1, 2026, through July 31, 2030, and musicians still must ratify it.
