san francisco opera


(◡‿◡ ✿)

This Magic Flute production is like a Sesame Street version. It's in English too. It changes the narrative lines slightly and the whole translation keeps the original spirits up. I'm happy I went there last night. The Albina Shagimuratova is just marvelous. All the casts are great. The props and well integrated with the stage costumes. It's a Sesame Street!!!!! http://sfopera.com/About/Backstage-at-San-Francisco-Opera/March-2012/Thoughts-on-Designing-Magic-Flute.aspx

Want to learn more about the Magic Flute? SF Opera is offering 'Exploration Workshops' on June 16 and 24, for children ages 8 and older.

Looks good :-)

WOW. I just saw the dress rehearsal for this. Insanely colorful cool--it was like: uhh... masonic imagery meets Beetles' Yellow Submarine, with giant red snakes and the Queen of the Night. Top notch singing and Mozart's timelessly gorgeous music. GO SEE IT. http://sfopera.com/Season-Tickets/2011-2012-Season/The-Magic-Flute.aspx

Twenty five years ago John Adams' Nixon in China premiered at HGO. It is now playing in a beautiful new production at San Francisco Opera, and features HGO favorites Patrick Carfizzi and Simon O'Neill. Toi toi toi! http://www.sfcv.org/reviews/san-francisco-opera/triumph-color-and-exhilaration-nixon-in-china

Had a great time at the opera today. I can really hear the difference from this early work for John compared to his new material. Overall a great modern OPERA!

I know, I know, I've been opera-this and opera-that... but I just had to share the post about Natalie on the SF Opera Blog today :) http://sfopera.com/About/Backstage-at-San-Francisco-Opera/June-2012/My-journey-to-becoming-one-of--The-Magic-Flute-s-C.aspx
