An opera about Steve Jobs is opening in San Francisco
Can people be lured back to the opera by one of the world’s most famous businessmen?
STEVE Jobs was heralded as one of history’s greatest tech visionaries, but was also a music man. The iPod (which Apple released in 2001 while Jobs was boss) and the iTunes store (launched in 2003) helped boost the fortunes of the beleaguered music industry by persuading people to pay for songs instead of stealing them.
Twenty years later, some are looking to Jobs to help music again – this time, opera.
On Sep 22, The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs opens at the San Francisco Opera, in the city where Jobs was born – a 45-minute drive from the garage in Los Altos where the first Apple computer was designed.
