Edward Gardner conducted SF Symphony in The Planets this evening. There was much bombast but also ethereal moments.

The orchestra sounded clear and beautiful in the final dress rehearsal of @sfopera.bsky.social ‘s Parsifal. Some great singing from Brian Mulligan as Amfortas and Brandon Jovanovich in the title role.

Really impressed with West Edge Opera’s whole line up this summer. Wozzeck was so viscerally disturbing: operatattler.typepad.com/opera/2025/0...

Teared up so much at @sfopera’s Idomeneo this evening. The orchestra sounded perfectly clear under Maestra Eun Sun Kim. Both soprano Ying Fang (Ilia) and soprano Elza van den Heever (Elettra) are incredible.

Impressed by The Pigeonkeeper at @operaparallele.bsky.social this evening. The orchestra sounds so full, the music has a color and atmosphere, and the singing was great.

San Francisco Symphony ounded absolutely beautiful tonight in Ravel‘s Ma Mère l‘Oye and Schoenberg‘s Erwartung. Soprano Mary Beth Williams is hale and hearty as The Woman, and ran on and off stage for ovations after singing basically 33 minutes nonstop.
