Icon of disco and fervent advocate for gay rights, Sylvester gives one of the most prestigious concerts of his career at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, on March 11, 1979. In front of more than 3,000 spectators and surrounded by a grand orchestra of 26 musicians, Sylvester performs his essential dancefloor hits "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)" alongside a selection of original tracks and covers including, among others, "Never Can Say Goodbye", "I (Who Have Nothing)" by Ben E. King and "Blackbird" by the Beatles. Available for the first time in its complete version, "Live at the Opera House" is one of the flagship albums of Sylvester's discography, as well as a landmark advance for the gay movement in puritanical 1970s America.
