San Francisco Opera's upcoming Don Giovanni production was already intriguing, between the debuts of Ildebrando D'Arcangelo, Erin Wall, Stanislas de Barbeyrac, and conductor Marc Minkowski, and the return of Sarah Shafer, Ana Maria Martinez, Michael Sumuel, and Andrea Silvestrelli. Joshua Kosman had a cast-change article in the Chron last night and now I have the press release: SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 12, 2017) — San Francisco Opera’s 2017 Summer Season will include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the War Memorial Opera House beginning Sunday, June 4 through Friday, June 30 for eight performances.

[…] The Donna Elvira, Miriam Khalil, received high praise for her performance of the role in Against the Grain Theatre’s adaptation of the opera in 2014. Michele Capalbo (Donna Anna), was the Liu in last October’s Turandot, while the young Edmonton soprano Witney Sloane (Zerlina) will be heard in March’s Elektra. Edmonton’s own John Tessier takes the tenor role of Don Ottavio, and of particular interest will be the EO debut of the American bass Erik Anstine as Leporello. He is decidedly an emerging young singer, who has almost exclusively appeared on the opera stage in Europe in the last four years, at the Opernhaus Zürich and the Salzburg Festival. The single exception was an appearance — as Leporello — for Seattle Opera in 2014.

Mozart’s Figaro
The opera Le Nozze Di Figaro by Mozart is a great favorite of mine because it combines two aspects of the culture of the late 1700’s: On one hand, both the librettist and the composer show us the culture and the morals of the time. And in addition, we get to hear the humor and sublime music that created this opera in the first place. Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro, K492 Recorded at the Salzburg Festival, August 2015 The singers are as follows: Luca Pisaroni (Conte Almaviva), Anett Fritsch (Contessa Almaviva), Martina Janková (Susanna), Adam Plachetka (Figaro), Margarita Gritskova (Cherubino), Ann Murray (Marcellina), Carlos Chausson (Don Bartolo), Paul Schweinester (Don Basilio), Franz Supper (Don Curzio), Christina Gansch (Barbarina), Erik Anstine (Antonio), with the Wiener Philharmoniker Dan Ettinger (conductor). Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro is an unforgettable opera about love, desire and the primal force of uncontrollable passion. Concluding the […]
