Matthew Shilvock: San Francisco Opera continues its second century with a season that demonstrates the potential of opera to connect to the most fundamental aspects of our humanity, whether through works of searing contemporary resonance like The Handmaid’s Tale or profound archetypes like Tristan and Idomeneo.

If your best friend was a mystery Michelin restaurant inspector, they could tell you that the proper placement of a dish precisely one inch from the table’s edge can make or break an establishment. Even world-famous chefs at the most prestigious establishments know the rules are tough. Indeed, a three-star Michelin restaurant is a rare thing—only 13 exist across the entire United States. Yet, Michelin’s famous one, two, and three star rankings are not like levels in a video game; there’s no rule about conquering one stage to get to the next. The first Michelin Guide was published in 1900 to encourage automobile trips that incentivized the purchase of the company’s tires.
