Making his @sfopera debut, George Petean, stars as Count di Luna in 'Il trovatore,' opening Tuesday. Petean speaks about Verdian voices, why 'Trovatore' is a beloved #opera , and why, for this baritone, singing #Verdi keeps things all in the family.

Had such a fun night San Francisco Opera 🤩 — and yes, I was that loud one you heard after the performance of “Cielito Lindo” 😅

Remembering with huge admiration the great British tenor Graham Clark. He sang with @sfopera three times in a diverse array of repertoire: Albert Gregor in Makropulos, The Witch in Hansel & Gretel and, pictured here, as Piet the Pot in Le Grand Macabre. An extraordinary artist.

First-year Adler Fellow Moisés Salazar is crushing it tonight as Pinkerton in the last #Butterfly of the San Francisco Opera centennial season. A big, gleaming sound, effortlessly deployed and shot through with expressive clarity.

'I’ve been covering this company since 1985, and in all that time there’s never been a season in which so much ambition has been paired with such a high level of execution.'

For SFChronicle Datebook, I sang the praises of San Francisco Opera's centennial season.

A much deserved bow from Janet Popesco Archibald as she retires from the San Francisco Opera Orchestra after 32 years of glorious artistry that has nourished the soul of the company. Thank you Janet for such extraordinary devotion to excellence and for making San Francisco Opera your artistic home.

Big smiles. A sublime opera. A full house. This is summer San Francisco Opera!

Thank you Daniela Mack and Alfredo Daza for such a heartfelt journey into the emotions of Frida y Diego.

El último sueño de Frida y Diego is so good!

Just out of my sixth performance of the week. Y'all should go see Frida y Diego at San Francisco Opera !

A full century at the heart of San Francisco's musical and cultural life? Yeah that seems worth celebrating. Congratulations to @sfopera.

For SFChronicle Datebook, my report on last night's 100th Anniversary Concert:

My heart is full!
I am so proud to be a part of this glorious company.
We carry forth the legacy of all who have gone before and we honor the thousands who have brought to life sublime art on this stage. It is humbling and exhilarating to be at this moment. Happy 100 San Francisco Opera!

You won’t find projections or high-tech re-creations of work by Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in “El último sueño de Frida y Diego” at @sfopera.

“We went back to the aesthetics of painting,” said the opera’s director, Lorena Maza. trib.al/mrDj2p8

'Productions like this, rare though they be, are why we live in hope every time we go to the opera.' - John Bender, Reviewer (@operacanada)
