San Francisco Opera’s new director has some big challenges to solve. But David Gockley is looking outside the box: “In Houston, we’ve done a lot of outdoor performances and performed in smaller suburban theaters. One of the first things I want to do here is take an inventory of all the performance spaces in the Bay Area, both outdoor and indoor. I want to try to come up with a formula that would access those audiences and give them a taste that would make them want to come downtown, because this is where it really happens.”
