Reviews of Performances and their Audiences
My Q&A preview with Maestro Jeffrey Thomas of American Bach Soloists about Marais' Sémélé is on KQED Arts.
Looking forward to the opening on Thursday, August 13 at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I am impressed that a second performance had to be added back in June because of the high demand for tickets, as this is a North American premiere.
Rebecca Myers Hoke is singing the title role.
Dear OT: I think the originally scheduled performance of Sémélé was for Friday the 14th because most of the tickets for that are gone, while the added performance is on Thursday the 13th where there seems to be better availability. Hope to see you there.

That makes much more sense. Thank you for the correction!

No problem. I managed to get the right day in my Festival preview with the wrong date, not to mention writing “Jean Marais” instead of “Marin Marais.” Our darned fact-checkers may be the sloppiest, laziest crew ever.
