If you think your family is f'd up, check out Elektra's, they are bonkers and Richard Strauss does a deep dive in their complicated psyches. Elektra is a new production with Christine Goerke in that title role. Turandot features the well worn production with the David Hockney sets (seen before in SF in '93, '98, '02, and '11) but former Adler Fellow, tenor Brian Jagde should breathe new life into the role of Calaf. The Spring '18 season will revive the 2011 Wagner Ring Cycle. Pack your picnic and sunscreen, pray that the heat wave keeps on until then, and enjoy your arias with a glass of chardonnay. On Sunday, the festivities continue with the traditional free Opera in the Park concert at Golden Gate Park that will provide samples of the five shows of the Fall season. The new classical music season kicks off this weekend with Turandot, which was the center of the opening night gala Friday at SF Opera, and continues tonight (Saturday)
