Two stunning vocalists are featured in a new production of the Massenet’s strongest and most involving tragedy. Tenor Ramón Vargas, “a creamy-voiced singer who floats high notes easily” (The New York Times), returns to San Francisco Opera in one of his signature roles, a poet who cannot bear the pain of unrequited love.
World-renowned British mezzo-soprano Alice Coote sings Charlotte, and “spares nothing in emotion, vocal energy and heartbreak” (The Observer of London). Francisco Negrin directs San Francisco’s new production. Conductor Emmanuel Villaume brings to life the exotic swirl of Massenet’s music, eliciting “a properly French sound” from the orchestra (Chicago Tribune).
