The discount is the brainchild of San Francisco Opera general director David Gockley, who aims to make opera more accessible to broader and younger audiences. It follows other Gockley initiatives, such as the company's first free, live, outdoor simulcasts last summer.

In a statement, Gockley said, "Opera is for everyone, and we hope this program will help introduce opera newcomers to this glorious art form."
