Luisotti Conducts a Landmark Performance of Verdi's Requiem in San Francisco

Diese Vorstellung war Sir Mark Elders Debüt mit der Kompanie und von der Ouvertüre an bot er seine individuelle Lesart der Partitur, mit einer enormen dynamischen Bandbreite und je nach den emotionalen Werten jeder Szene stark variierenden Tempi.

An excellent cast and smart, engaged direction make for an auspicious season launch in San Francisco Opera’s production of one of Verdi’s most sophisticated creations.  

John Fulljames directs a new production of Poul Ruders' uncompromising operatic take on Margaret Atwood’s celebrated novel. 

Great vocal performances from Amina Edris and Gerald Finley grace John Adams' new opera, which opens San Francisco Opera’s centennial season.

Both vocally and instrumentally the performance  was a high-class one

The evening’s most revelatory performance came from the young countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen as Medoro.
