San Francisco Opera’s Summer Season 2008

In case one may have forgotten, San Francisco Opera's season returns next week to the War Memorial Opera House. They've put up new banners and posters, and are sponsoring public radio again. I've looked at my schedule for June 2nd through July 6th, and even if I only hear Das Rheingold and Lucia twice apiece, I still will go to 18 SF Opera or Merola events. This is opera escalation if I've ever seen it, and I do feel concerned. Speaking of which, last week I saw a poster for Das Rheingold at my local burrito shop. Summer madness, indeed.

    Sigh. I’ve tried to talk myself into believing that I can swing a weekend in SF and see a couple of operas this summer, but the finances say no. I look forward to hearing about the performances.

    Ah, but Southern California has lots of great music stuff going on. I know I’d love to hear Tosca at LA Opera, especially after hearing the podcast interviews of the cast.

    I have tix to the 6/14 Rheingold that I cannot use, OrchRear, center aisle. Do you know anyone who might like them? The face value is $92 per, but for someone who would really appreciate the music, I’d be willing to part with them for much less.
    Thanks.

    I’ll look into it, but most of the people I know either have subscriptions or do standing room.
