I love Sharon, she's great. Thanks for the suggestion.
SF Opera's Don Giovanni
* Notes * Don Giovanni, the last installment of the Mozart-Da Ponte trilogy directed by Michael Cavanagh, opened yesterday evening at San Francisco Opera. It was a joy to hear Maestro Bertrand de Billy conduct this beautiful music and there was much lovely singing. Post-apocalyptic future fel...
It was such fun!
No Love Allowed at Pocket Opera
* Notes * Last month Pocket Opera put on three performances of Wagner's No Love Allowed (Das Liebesverbot). I attended the delightful May 15 matinée at the Hillside Club in Berkeley. The English language production had a lot of charm and some beautiful voices, and though I did miss Pocket Oper...
Thank you!

My mistake, I'm not sure what Ms. Giunta was singing then, does the 1728 version not have arias for Tigrane?
PBO's Radamisto
* Notes * Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and new Music Director Richard Egarr (pictured) ended the 2021-2022 season with Händel's Radamisto last weekend at the Bing Concert Hall on the Stanford campus. The intimate venue proved unflattering, though there certainly was some lovely singing and ...

Weren't all the other singers in the chorus as well? If not, my mistake, thank you for your feedback. I encourage you to read Lisa Hirsch's review in Opera News if you require a more thorough review.
Opera San José's Dido and Aeneas
* Notes * Opera San José has returned to the California Theatre last night with a beautifully cast Dido and Aeneas. Director Elkhanah Pulitzer's new production is likewise attractive. Music Director Joseph Marcheso conducted a reduced version of the orchestra suited to this Baroque opera that...
