Opening Week Conflicts

I'm used to this kind of thing happening at the beginning of December, not the beginning of September, but here's what's lined up for Saturday, September 10 (and there could be more!):

• Antony and Cleopatra world premiere at San Francisco Opera
• Le Nozze di Figaro, set in India before independence, at Opera San José
• Sarah Cahill, The Future is Female, another of her brilliantly-programmed recitals (in Santa Cruz, so a bit far for me). Here's what she's playing: Tara’s Love Will Melt the Sword by Janice Giteck (2002), Music for Piano by Frangiz Ali-Zadeh (1989/1997), Summer Days (2020) by Mary Watkins, Shadow by Rebecca Saunders (2013) Valsa Choro No. 2 by Adelaide Pereira da Silva (1965), The Homeless Wanderer by Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou (1951), Piano Poems by Regina Harris Baiocchi (2020), Small Noise by Hyo-shin Na (2018), Holding Pattern by Maggi Payne(2001), Rang de Basant by Reena Esmail (2012), and Troubled Water by Margaret Bonds (1967). Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 7:30pm, Peace United Church of Christ, 900 High Street | Santa Cruz, CA. www.newmusicworks.org for more info.
