Parterrians may be interested in the 2007/8 season SFO announced today.
Samson and Delilah (Clifton Forbis/Olga Borodina)
Tannhäuser (Peter Seiffert/Petra Maria Schnitzer/Petra Lang)
World premiere of Appomattox by Philip Glass (Dwayne Croft as Robert E. Lee)
Magic Flute (Rebecca Evans/Erika Miklósa/Piotr Beczala/Christopher Maltman)
La Rondine (Angela Gheorghiu/Misha Didyk)
Macbeth (Thomas Hampson/Doina Dimitriu)
The Rake’s Progress (William Burden/Laura Aikin/Denyce Graves/James Morris)
West Coast premiere of The Little Prince by Rachel Portman (cast TBA)
Das Rheingold (Zambello production from WNO. Mark Delavan/Richard Paul Fink/Jennifer Larmore/Jill Grove/Runnicles conducting)
Ariodante (Susan Graham/Ruth Ann Swenson/Ewa Podle?)
Lucia di Lammermoor (Natalie Dessay/Giuseppe Filianoti)
Not overwhelming, but interesting enough, I guess. Dessay, Gheorghiu, Podle? at least offset Hampson as Macbeth. And maybe Burden will take his shirt off.
Okay, so that means if I get into the San Francisco Conservatory, I am definetly going. What a season. Hamina Hamina Hamina.
Speaking of the Litte Prince, am I the only one who really loves that opera. It’s just so unabashedly lyrical. Here’s hoping San Francisco gets Teddy Tahu Rhodes for the Pilot
I’m delighted — it’s a date I can cross off my list. I couldn’t decided whether to go to one Traviata with Stoyanova or two, and this will make it easier to get into all of them. I was out of the country when she made her Met debut in this role in 2001, and everyone who saw it was knocked out (in the good sense). I assume the Met will pay her for the evening anyway, and she always has the Wiener Staatsoper to fall back on.
The real question is will she really be singing Violetta the day AFTER she is to sing a solo recital in Florida?

Just an update, Gheorghiu cancelled the recital in Miami! It is a big blow for Judy Drucker because it was also going to raise funds. Guess the MET comes first!
