The San Francisco Opera regularly broadcast parts of its performances from 1932 onwards (usually complete acts - rarely complete operas), but only a small number of them have survived. This page lists those extracts known to survive. Many of the stars of the Metropolitan Opera sang in San Francisco in October and November before heading to New York for the winter/spring, and possibly on to London for May/June and Buenos Aires for August. Probably the most famous of all the SFO recordings is act 2 of Die Walkure from 1936, the only recording to capture Lotte Lehmann and Kirsten Flagstad on stage together, but SFO also broadcast Martinelli in La Juive, Muzio in Tosca and Lawrence in Carmen, roles they never broadcast elsewhere. The sound is often rough, taken from air checks, but still worth hearing for the historic importance of these broadcasts.

There was a long hiatus in live broadcasts from San Francisco, they did not resume until 1970 but from 1971 to 1982 about 10 operas were broadcast (either live or delayed) in the fall season. These were the first stereo opera broadcasts in the United States as the Met did not begin stereo broadcasts until late 1973. The opera house attracted the world's leading artists during the 1970s, often in repertoire they did not perform at the Met. Between 1985 and 1987 there were only sporadic broadcasts, all recorded for later transmission.
