Our 101st season is one of great exploration and discovery with stories both timeless and timely. Caroline H. Hume Music Director Eun Sun Kim continues to take us through the powerful works of Verdi with Il Trovatore, and she begins a parallel journey into the romantic and expansive style of Wagner with a new-to-San Francisco production of Lohengrin. She will also conduct Mozart’s whimsical opera The Magic Flute in an acclaimed production inspired by 1920s cinema. Whatever the time and place on stage, great opera invites us into reflections of who we are in the here and now. It is an art form of the heart, and we welcome you to a journey of profound emotion as we enter our second century.
