Opera

Festival Aix-en-Provence just produced a season of opera unmatched practically anywhere this year. Here's a full report on the extraordinary performances.

Goudeau discussed his plans for the arts in S.F., his love of Wagner, and his appreciation for the city’s “incredible rave scene.”

The ebullient production of Richard Strauss’ opera hits the mark musically and dramatically, as the young Merolini shine.

Keturah Stickann’s staging gives Handel's Rinaldo an animated Spiderman vibe that maximizes the work’s virtues.

Mark Streshinsky’s cinematic rendering of Benjamin Britten’s opera is a masterclass in psychological drama. The production runs at West Edge Opera through Aug. 15.
