  • Cast Amendment for Il Trittico
    1 FEBRUARY 2016 CAST AMENDMENT IL TRITTICO (Giacomo Puccini) 25, 29 Februry; 3, 5, 8 and 15 March at 6.30pm To her great disappointment, Austrian soprano Martina Serafin has been forced to withdraw from her role debut as Giorgetta in Il tabarro due to an injury suffered before Christmas. She has made good progress since the accident, but unfortunately she is still not adequately mobile to undertake this role for The Royal Opera. The role of Giorgetta will now be sung by American soprano Patricia Racette . Patricia Racette made her Royal Opera debut in 1996 as Mimì ( La bohème ). She has previously sung the role of Giorgetta for Theater an der Wien, and will perform the role in Rome in April 2016. Her other recent engagements include Nedda ( Pagliacci ) for the Metropolitan Opera, New York, Katerina Ismailova ( Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk ) for English National Opera and Elle ( La Voix humaine ) for Chicago Opera Theater. The rest of the cast remains unchanged, with Italian baritone Lucio Gallo as Michele, American tenor Carl Tanner as Luigi, Italian tenor Carlo Bosi as Tinca, British bass Jeremy White as Talpa, Korean tenor and Jette Parker Young Artist David Junghoon Kim as Ballad Seller, Russian mezzo-soprano Irina Mishura as Frugola, Australian soprano and Jette Parker Young Artist Lauren Fagan and Portguese tenor Luis Gomes as the Lovers and Italian conductor Nicola Luisotti .

    North Stage Door - Episode 1 Transcript Released 4/22/2021 CHRIS LARGENT: Hey there, let me take you off this busy main road of Van Ness Avenue, follow me through this parklet. I’m going to bring you into the secret world - not accessible to the general public...The North Stage Door! Welcome to San Francisco Opera's new podcast! I'm your host, Chris Largent and I'm delighted to sweep you into this massive hive of creativity, stagecraft and performance at one of opera’s most exciting companies. Along the way, we’ll meet singers, directors, designers -- and some surprise guests; like Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer and Academy Award Winning Director Pete Docter, and internationally acclaimed opera star Patricia Racette. In normal times, walking around backstage, there would be a flurry of activity. But, it's not really happening like that this year...our stage has been dark. Our season? Canceled. This moment of social distancing has given us time to reflect -- how can this venerable artform that is entirely dependent on precision planning, hundreds and hundreds of people from different disciplines collaborating behind the scenes, and thousands in the audience --- how might this artform of opera adapt to a different reality, yet still adhere to restrictions necessary to keep everyone safe? How can we satisfy the craving we’re all feeling... to experience opera live and come together as a community again? Luckily, San Francisco Opera is in the process of answering this question with a production of Barber of Seville that is unlike any other --and is taking shape as I speak.

  • Unbecoming Adults: Adolescence and the Technologies of Difference in Post
    Unbecoming Adults: Adolescence and the Technologies of Difference in Post-1960s US Ethnic Literature and Culture DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James K. Harris, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Martin Joseph Ponce, Advisor Dr. Lynn Itagaki Dr. Jian Chen Copyright by James K. Harris 2017 Abstract Adolescence has always been a cultural construction. The designation of a separate space apart from the presumed innocence of childhood and the myths of autonomy and responsibility that come to define adulthood is a surprisingly modern phenomenon. As such, adolescence bears the traces of the ideologies of race, gender, sexuality, and nation that attend so much of the period that calls itself “modernity.” My dissertation asks how writers and artists of color imagine themselves into the archive of coming of age narratives in post-1960s US literature and culture. In thinking about the importance of identity in the period following the advent of nominal civil rights, I offer the “long(er) civil rights movement” as a way of resisting the move to periodize the struggles through which difference has historically accrued meaning in the US nation- state. Each chapter centers around a “technology,” the academy, the body, the entertainment industry, and the internet, which is essential to the formation of adolescent identity in the post-war era, alongside a key term in the lexicon of American culture that accrues added meanings when filtered through the experience of difference.
