  • San Francisco Opera Center and Merola Opera Program Announce 2020 Schwabacher Recital Series
    SAN FRANCISCO OPERA CENTER AND MEROLA OPERA PROGRAM ANNOUNCE 2020 SCHWABACHER RECITAL SERIES January 29 Kicks Off First of Four Recitals Highlighting Emerging Artists and Unique Musical Programs Tickets available at sfopera.com/srs and (415) 864-3330 SAN FRANCISCO, CA (January 6, 2019) — Now in its 37th year, the Schwabacher Recital Series returns on Wednesday, January 29, with performances at San Francisco’s Dianne and Tad Taube Atrium Theater that feature emerging artists from around the globe. Presented by San Francisco Opera Center and Merola Opera Program, the annual Schwabacher Series consists of four Wednesday evening recitals, the last of which concludes on April 22. The first-ever Schwabacher series was presented in December 1983, kicking off a decades-long San Francisco tradition of presenting rising international talent in the intimacy of a recital setting. The 2020 series will blend classics like Hector Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Été with rarely performed 20th- and 21st-century works like Olivier Messiaen’s Harawi. JANUARY 29: ALICE CHUNG, LAUREANO QUANT AND NICHOLAS ROEHLER (From left to right: Alice Chung, Laureano Quant and Nicholas Roehler) The series opens on January 29 with a set of performers recently seen as part of the Merola Opera Program: mezzo-soprano Alice Chung, baritone Laureano Quant and pianist Nicholas Roehler. Twice named as a Merola artist—once in 2017 and again in 2019—Chung returns to the 1 Bay Area for this recital, having been hailed as a “force of nature” by San Francisco Classical Voice (SFCV). She will tackle a range of works, from Colombian composer Luis Carlos Figueroa’s soothing lullaby “Berceuse” to cabaret-inspired works like William Bolcom’s “Over the Piano.” Quant, a 2019 Merola participant, joins Chung to perform Bolcom’s music, as well as select songs from Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Été and Francesco Santoliquido’s I Canti della Sera.

  • Pittsburgh Opera NEWS RELEASE
    4/1/2008 Pittsburgh Opera NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: BETH PARKER (412) 281-0912 X 248 [email protected] PHOTOS: MAGGIE JOHNSON (412) 281-0912 X 262 [email protected] Jane Dutton replaces Stephanie Blythe in Pittsburgh Opera’s Aida Pittsburgh, PA . Opera companies expect their drama in high doses, but this week at Pittsburgh Opera has been more stimulating than most. Mezzo-soprano superstar Stephanie Blythe was to have made her long-anticipated company and role debut as Amneris in Pittsburgh Opera’s production of Verdi’s Aida. Blythe, however, fell victim to a virus and had to bow out the day before the show opened on March 29. Following a remarkable last-minute rescue of the opening night by Marianne Cornetti, Ms. Blythe had to cancel the second performance, leaving the company without a back-up for the remaining shows. This time Artistic Director Christopher Hahn secured Jane Dutton, another highly-regarded American mezzo who has recently added the killer role to her repertoire with highly successful performances at English National Opera. Dutton sings the Tuesday, April 1 performance and remains available to safeguard the production. Pittsburgh Opera anticipates the return of a healthy Ms. Blythe for the final performances on April 4th and 6th. Ms.Cornetti’s appearance was nigh on miraculous. An experienced Amneris and alumna of the company’s training program, the Pittsburgh Opera Center, Cornetti was released from a rehearsal in Amsterdam and got the last available seat on a KLM flight. She arrived in Pittsburgh at 2:30 PM, and after a mad dash from the airport, a brief rehearsal and costume fitting, the Metropolitan Opera star nailed the 8 PM performance.

Stephanie has created a concert entitled Johnny Mercer: America’s Lyricist. “This concert is a musical and historical look at the words and songs of Johnny Mercer and those who influenced and partnered with him, from the early years of Jazz, to Tin Pan Alley, and eventually, Hollywood,” shares Stephanie. “Mercer’s extraordinary abilities as a wordsmith and performer cannot be underestimated, as the songs and stories will tell you. Mercer was a born communicator, who had an innate understanding of how to connect with his audience- a perfect subject for a recital/cabaret, my absolute favorite kind of performance, one that establishes an easy, person to person connection with the audience through shared emotional experiences.” Stephanie Blythe made her Company debut in 2014’s A Masked Ball as Ulrica, sang in the Company’s Verdi Requiem that same year, and returned in recital later that fall for We’ll Meet Again: The Songs of Kate Smith.

    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.
