    Media Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 15, 2019 Contact: Edward Wilensky (619) 232-7636 [email protected] San Diego Opera’s 2018-2019 Main Stage Season Closes With Bizet’s Carmen Mezzo-soprano Ginger Costa-Jackson makes Company debut in signature role of Carmen Tenor Robert Watson sings Don José New production to San Diego Opera audiences San Diego, CA – Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen will close the 2018-2019 mainstage season. Carmen opens on Saturday, March 30, 2019 for four performances at the Civic Theatre. Additional performances are April 2, 5, and 7 (matinee), 2019. Bringing her signature role to San Diego Opera for her house debut is mezzo-soprano Ginger Costa-Jackson. The Los Angeles Times’ critic Mark Swed noted “Ginger Costa-Jackson, an exceptional young Sicilian American mezzo-soprano, brought a dangerous, animalistic vibrancy to the title role. There is a lusty yet somber quality to her strikingly dark mezzo, the ideal voice for Carmen.” She is joined by tenor Robert Watson, also in a Company debut, as Don José. Also in Company debuts are soprano Sarah Tucker as Micaëla and baritone Scott Conner as Escamillo. Rounding out the cast is bass Patrick Blackwell in his Company debut as Zuniga, soprano Tasha Koontz as Frasquita, mezzo-soprano Guadalupe Paz as Mercedes in her Company debut, tenor Felipe Prado in his house debut as Remendado, baritone Bernardo Bermudez as Dancairo, and baritone Brian Vu in a Company debut as Morales. Maestro Yves Abel, last heard conducting 2016’s Madama Butterfly, returns to lead these performances, and Kyle Lang, who made his directorial debut with 2017’s As One, returns to stage the action.

    JACOB LASSETTER, BARITONE With his powerful voice and commanding stage presence, baritone Jacob Lassetter enjoys an exciting and vibrant career on both the operatic and concert stage. Critics have praised his dignified characterizations, his soaring high range, and his deep, rich tone quality. In June 2021 Mr. Lassetter is excited to make his role and company debut as Scarpia in Tosca with Marble City Opera. Earlier in the 2020–2021 season he sings a solo recital of British composers and benefit concerts for both Winter Opera Saint Louis and Union Avenue Opera. Mr. Lassetter was scheduled to make his role and company debut as the title role in Der fliegende Holländer with Mid Ohio Opera, as well as a return to Italy for performances of the title role in Elijah, as soloist for Mozart’s Mass in C Minor, and various other concerts. These engagements were all unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19. In the 2019–2020 season Mr. Lassetter sang Sonora in La fanciulla del West with Winter Opera Saint Louis, and both Schubert’s Winterreise and Argento’s The Andrée Expedition in recital. In the 2018–2019 season he sang Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus with Winter Opera Saint Louis, Carmina Burana with the Washington University Symphony Orchestra, Verdi’s Requiem and A Symphony of Toys with The Missouri Symphony, Dick Deadeye in H.M.S. Pinafore and Il Gran Sacerdote in Nabucco with Union Avenue Opera, and a series of three recitals with St. Louis Art Song. Opera audiences have recently seen Mr. Lassetter as Sharpless in Madama Butterfly with Annapolis Opera, Wolfram in Tannhäuser with Apotheosis Opera (New York City), Peter in Hänsel und Gretel with Union Avenue Opera, and Rodrigo in the world premiere of Borgia Infami with Winter Opera Saint Louis.

    PRESS RELEASE Union Avenue Opera 733 N. Union Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63108 . 314-361-2881 FOR RELEASE UPON RECEIPT Contact: Emily DePauw June 24, 2015 [email protected] Don Giovanni opens Union Avenue Opera’s Twenty-first Festival Season St. Louis, MO, June 24, 2015 – Twenty-six artists will make their Union Avenue Opera debut during its Twenty-first Festival Season this summer including ten artist during the season opener Don Giovanni (July 10, 11, 17, 18 at 8:00pm.) Long considered one of the greatest operas of all time, Don Giovanni is Mozart’s version of the notorious Don Juan legend. In the decadent pursuit of pleasure, Spanish nobleman Don Giovanni travels through Europe seducing women and leaving behind him a trail of broken hearts, broken promises, and broken lives. When Don Giovanni commits murder, he unleashes a dark power beyond his control. The Don pushes his limits and meets his ultimate demise in this brilliantly crafted opera featuring the famous arias “Batti, batti, o bel Masetto,” “Madamina, il catalogo è questo,” and “Fin ch’han dal vino.” “I am so pleased with the design direction we are taking with UAO’s Don Giovanni,” said stage director Jon Truitt (Madama Butterfly, 2013). “One of the challenges of presenting the opera is to synthesize the disparate elements of comedy, drama, horror, and romance that are so prevalent in it. To address these challenges from a design standpoint our set designer, Kyra Bishop, and I have taken a nod from the world of Shakespeare by using a constant set that is repeatedly re-imagined to represent different scenes.” “It’s really exciting for me to present this vision of Don Giovanni that’s been in my head for so many years and to be able to see it realized by such a talented team” said Truitt.
