The S.F. Symphony's next season will highlight the 20th anniversary of Michael Tilson Thomas as music director, and celebrate his 70th birthday at special events.
The show is promoted with this line: "Sex, drugs, and classical music illustrate what happens behind the curtains at the symphony can be just as captivating as what occurs on stage." No joke, although it's classified as a comedy.
The open rehearsal of the New Century Chamber Orchestra's one-act comic opera Rita was a delightful event, with outstanding, appealing artists, singers, and instrumentalists alike; a presentation that delivered more than just promise.
