My heart is breaking for Carmen’s husband and inseparable partner, Chris, and their whole family. She was a fabulous artist, great colleague, and a wonderful, warm, generous, and supportive human being. So very sad.

Such a pleasure to work with this remarkable man, a giant of the art form. Loved every minute of developing and directing this production. “His masterpiece” is right!

"I think I would be far too cranky." Writer-composer Carlisle Floyd gets real about the challenges of working with librettists — outside of himself, of course — ahead of our weekend streaming event, his masterpiece "Susannah."
Hear his work this weekend: sfopera.com/opera-is-on/stre…

I've been thinking about this since the COVID hit and finally figured out how to write some of it down. Curious for thoughts!

Moments of exuberance as we close out an extraordinary run of Figaro @SFOpera. I am so sad to say goodbye. It has been so heartfelt, so funny, so Mozart! Thank you to this amazing company for creating such beauty. Tune in next fall for Season 2 of the House of Mozart and Da Ponte
