SF Opera Futures

So far, the 2009-2010 season at San Francisco Opera is rumored to include:
Die Entführung aus dem Seraglio
La Fanciulla del West with Deborah Voigt and Salvatore Licitra
La Fille du Régiment with Juan Diego Florez and Diana Damrau
The Makropoulos Case with Karita Mattila
Mefistofele directed by William Friedkin with René Pape
Peter Grimes directed by John Copley with Ben Heppner and Heidi Melton
Salomé
Il Trittico with Patricia Racette and Paolo Gavanelli
Il Trovatore with Sondra Radvanovsky, Dmitri Hvorovstovsky, and Stephanie Blythe
Die Walküre

Beyond next season:
Siegfried
Götterdämmerung
Moby-Dick
Werther with Ramón Vargas
Nixon in China

Much of this was either mentioned by David Gockley at various events, found in programs or press releases, or comes from Janos Gereben over at San Francisco Classical Voice.

    Backstage at an ELISIR rehearsal (I’m a super), I commented on this list with a fellow super who works for the Opera. He confirmed that the list is partially accurate, but not completely. He refused, of course, to tell me which were happening and which not. The only thing I am absolutely positive is happening are Peter Grimes as I’ve had this separately confirmed by both Maestro Runnicles and Cathy Cook, who let slip she’ll be doing Auntie.

    It is such fun to gather up all the rumors, in any case. We’ll see soon enough what next season has in store!
