The powerful and tragic opera celebrates Milk's enduring legacy and contributions to the nascent LGBTQ+ movement, his early life in New York and relocation to San Francisco, later becoming the first openly gay man in 1978 to be elected to public office in California. Milk served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for 11 months before being assassinated, along with then-Mayor George Moscone, at San Francisco City Hall.

Opera Parallèle will present Harvey Milk May 31 to June 7, 2025 at the Blue Shield of California Theater, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, coinciding with what would have been Milk's 95th birthday and marking the start of Pride Month, June 2025. Casting and creative team details along with the on-sale of tickets will be announced by mid-September.
