New in 2018:


Just added is an interview from 2011 with Iréne Theorin, who appeared that year as Turandot with the San Francisco Opera, and in 2018 has, on short notice, filled in as Brünnhilde in Wagner's Ring Cycle. Readers will enjoy this interview with one of this era's great dramatic sopranos.

Also on our website are an interview with the conductor of the three SF Opera 2018 Ring Cycles Donald Runnicles, from 2004 and a review of his performance in 2008 conducting Die Tote Stadt.
