Othello at Cal Shakes_Encore Arts San Francisco
“City National helps keep my financial life in tune.” So much of my life is always shifting; a different city, a different piece of music, a different ensemble. I need people who I can count on to help keep my financial life on course so I can focus on creating and sharing the “adventures” of classical music. City National shares my passion and is instrumental in helping me bring classical music to audiences all over the world. They enjoy being a part of what I do and love. That is the essence of a successful relationship. City National is The way up® for me.

Recording: Do not take photos of the performance. The use of any type of camera, video or audio recorder in the amphitheater is strictly prohibited. Such devices may be confiscated at the House Manager’s discretion. Keep the aisles clear during the performance. Observe all signage including directional signage on the grounds. It is posted for your safety. Smoking/Vaping is restricted to the designated area on the plaza.

Be scentsitive: Perfumes or scented lotions may cause discomfort to other patrons and may attract yellow jackets. Please keep use to a minimum. Picnicking: You’re welcome to enjoy food and beverages during the performance, but please be courteous to others. Unwrap all items before the performance begins or at intermission so as not to disturb your fellow patrons. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Our Land: The Bruns is located on the East Bay Municipal Utility District’s watershed land. In agreeing to lease to the theater, EBMUD seeks to serve the public with a community facility while preserving the watershed with minimal disruption to the pastoral surroundings.
