Good News

San Francisco Opera and the Opera Orchestra have signed a contract...eleven months after the last one expired:

San Francisco, CA (June 30, 2025) – San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, represented by the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) Local 6, jointly announce that they have reached agreement on a new two-year contract. The collective bargaining agreement, spanning August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, was ratified by the musicians of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra on June 26, 2025. The contract includes wage increases in each of the years and enhanced retirement packages. The new agreement also includes a collaboration between the orchestra and the company to realize a major change to its healthcare plans, resulting in transformational financial savings without reductions in benefits or increases in costs to participants. Additionally, the agreement includes a commitment between the orchestra and the company to negotiate a multi-year contract in the next round of negotiations.

“I am very grateful to both the musicians and the staff who worked with great commitment, care, and thoughtfulness to reach this new agreement,” said San Francisco Opera General Director Matthew Shilvock. “We deeply value the extraordinary talents of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and the transcendent music making they realize in both our theater and in the community. We look forward to a wonderful season ahead that will showcase music making at the highest level.”  

“We’re happy to have reached this Agreement and are especially proud that our musicians, along with our healthcare consultant, identified and delivered major cost savings that will benefit the entire Company,” said Gabe Young, Chair of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra Negotiating Committee. “This outcome reflects our deep commitment to the long-term success of San Francisco Opera. With negotiations behind us for now, we’re all eager to return our full focus to the music—to reaching new audiences, exploring new forums for performances, and continuing to create unforgettable artistic experiences. We look forward to negotiating a longer-term contract in the coming years in collaboration with Opera leadership.”

 I'm extremely curious about the major changes to the health care plans, an area where it's notoriously difficult to get costs down. Congrats to everyone at the orchestra and the company.

 

A Good Month for Queerness at SFCV

I have no idea whether it was deliberate, but SFCV has had the following articles recently:

• Brian Mulligan artist spotlight, by Victoria Looseleaf, in which the baritone, who has appeared many times at San Francisco Opera, talks frankly about growing up gay and being a gay singer.
• Elza van den Heever feature, by Annelies Zijderveld, about the soprano's baking and spectacular baked goods, which mentions van den Heever's wife.
• Alice Seeling feature, by Andrew Gilbert, about the pioneering lesbian trumpeter.
• San Francisco Opera Pride Concert review, by Lisa Hirsch.

San Francisco Opera Cast Change: Rigoletto

Tenor Giovanni Sala has withdrawn from the fall performances of Rigoletto, in which he would have sung the Duke of Mantua. Yongzhao Yu, pictured above, replaces him. 

Press release:

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 30, 2025) — San Francisco Opera announced a casting update for the opening opera of its 2025–26 Season, which opens Friday, September 5 with seven additional performances through September 27. The role of The Duke of Mantua in Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto will be performed by Chinese tenor Yongzhao Yu, who makes his Company debut. Yu replaces Giovanni Sala who has withdrawn from the production for personal reasons. 

Praised by Opera News for his “gleaming, powerful voice” and “thrilling top notes,” Yongzhao Yu made an acclaimed debut as the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto with English National Opera earlier this season. His 2024–25 Season also featured a return to the Metropolitan Opera where he appeared as Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Bohème and the Messenger in Verdi’s Aida, the latter witnessed globally as part of The Met: Live in HD simulcast series. He has performed the Duke with Seattle Opera and, immediately after San Francisco Opera, will perform the role for his Canadian debut with Vancouver Opera. This summer he is scheduled to portray Cavaradossi in a new production of Puccini’s Tosca at the Glimmerglass Festival with soprano Michelle Bradley and bass-baritone Greer Grimsley and reprise the role with Pacific Opera Victoria.
 
San Francisco Opera’s 2025–26 Season kicks off on Friday, September 5 with the annual Opera Ball, co-presented with San Francisco Opera Guild, and Verdi’s Rigoletto under the baton of Eun Sun Kim and starring Amartuvshin Enkhbat in the title role, Adela Zaharia as Gilda and Yongzhao Yu as the Duke of Mantua. Keystones of the Company’s 103rd season are the world premiere of The Monkey King (November 14–30) by composer Huang Ruo and librettist David Henry Hwang, and Maestro Kim conducting a new production of Richard Wagner’s Parsifal (October 25–November 13). This fall San Francisco Opera also commemorates its legacy of commissioning and presenting new operas with a 25th-anniversary presentation of Jake Heggie and Terrence McNally’s Dead Man Walking (September 14–28), the most widely performed new opera of the last 25 years which was introduced in 2000 at the War Memorial Opera House.

Learned at the Pride Concert

Last fall, I sat in the orchestra section of the War Memorial Opera House for the concert in which Eun Sun Kim conducted the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, Opera Chorus, and soloists in Beethoven's 9th Symphony. The orchestra was up on stage in the Jerome and Thao Dodson Shell, and the effect was pretty odd. There was the gulf of the orchestra pit between the audience and the stage, which isn't usually a problem, but made the orchestra feel very far away. And the orchestra sound wasn't great, not blended and gorgeous as it generally is when the orchestra is in the pit.

At Friday's Pride Concert (my review will be in SFCV!), I was in a box, with another member of the press and our respective companions, and wow, the orchestra, on stage in the shell, sounded fantastic. I'd heard from friends years ago that when the orchestra is on stage, you want to be upstairs somewhere, but this was the first time I'd experienced it. So, come the November Beethoven / de Falla concert, look for me in the Dress Circle somewhere.

Updated

I've updated my June 5 post about the SFO La Bohème, with links to Thomas May's review and Joshua Kosman's comments on the alternate cast, as well as my own remarks on that cast.

Tartuffe at Pocket Opera

I reviewed Pocket Opera's production of Kirke Mechem's Tartuffe the other day. The review is a rave, because the performers and direction are terrific, and it is quite simply one of the funniest and best-constructed recent operas that I've ever seen. 

Consequently, I found myself wondering why on earth it's not a repertory staple at U.S. opera companies large and small.  I mean, it has gotten some 400 performances or so worldwide, nothing to sneeze at, but still!

All I can come up with is that you need eight strong soloists who can also act, putting it on the expensive side. On the other hand, it can be performed with a big orchestra or a small orchestra; none of the roles are extreme for their voice type, and it seems perfect for a conservatory or program like Merola Opera, where you want opportunities for as many singers as possible.

I've seen two other recent operas that were this funny; they are also not exactly staples and they also should be. They are Kevin Puts and Mark Campbell's Elizabeth Cree and Mark Adamo's Lysistrata. 

Bring on the comedies! We all need a good laugh.

Finckel and Wu Han to Retire from Music@Menlo

 

Uncredited photo from Music@Menlo email

Twenty-five years after cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han founded the annual summer festival Music@Menlo, they've announced their intention to step down from leadership of the festival following the 2026 festival. The full press release is here.

I went to a few concerts at the festival back in 2005 and maybe 2006, seeing, among other things, a blazing performance of the Brahms piano quintet, the St. Lawrence String Quartet plus Finckel in the Schubert Quintet, and Jeffrey Kahane giving a talk, playing the Goldberg Variations, taking a lunch break, playing the Diabelli Variations, and answering questions ("I never have to do that again," he said at the Q&A).

Besides work and distance (I live in Oakland), what has mostly kept me away since then is the comparatively staid programming. Yes, great performers, yes, high-quality music, but an almost complete neglect of living composers and minoritized composers of the past. I will never forget Javier Hernandez, of the NY Times, asking Finckel about diversity in programming at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and receiving the answer "I mean, there is more variety and diversity in a single string quartet of Haydn than you can find in about a hundred works of other composers."  It will be very interesting to see who the next artistic director or directors of Music@Menlo will be and what their programming philosophy is.

Esa-Pekka Salonen at SFS

June 12, 2025

The last few weeks have felt like all Salonen, all the time, because they have been. I attended his last four concerts as music director of SFS, reviewed two of them, and wrote a scene piece about the last. He conducted splendidly across a wide range of music, introduced a new work by Gabriella Smith, and closed with three transcendent performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection."

You don't have to be a Christian to be deeply moved by Mahler's vision of renewal, and I regret that I missed the chance to sneak a riff on "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's [rye bread]" into my review. On the other hand, I'm not sure how many current readers are familiar with that classic advertising campaign from the 1960s and 70s.

I will note that I cried at different points in the different Mahler performances - I attended all of them and the open rehearsal, so, yes, four Mahler 2 performances in three days. At the rehearsal, the tears came in Sasha Cooke's first lines in the "Urlicht" movement; in the first performance, somewhere in the staggering last movement. I have never heard Cooke sing with greater beauty or feeling and I think I've heard most of her Bay Area performances.

Fun trivia about the performances: I wrote down the start and end times of the four movements, and over the three performances, the movement timings.....did not vary from each other by as much as a minute. 

This round-up will cover all of Salonen's last four programs as music director, in reverse chronological order, but not all at once. 

June 12-14: Mahler, Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, "Resurrection"

SF Opera: La Bohème Casting Update

Lucas Meachem as Marcello

Lucas Meachem will be singing Marcello in all performances of La Bohème, joining the alternate cast in place of Will Liverman, who was to make his SFO debut. Liverman has withdrawn for "personal reasons." I was looking forward to hearing Liverman, whom I've liked elsewhere. Meachem is a wonderful Marcello, though!

Here's the press release:

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 12, 2025) — San Francisco Opera announced today a casting update for its 2025 Summer Season production of Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème. Baritone Lucas Meachem, who is currently performing Marcello in La Bohème, will now sing the role in all remaining performances, replacing Will Liverman who was scheduled to perform Marcello on June 13, 18 and 21. Mr. Liverman has withdrawn from the production for personal reasons.

 

Meachem made his San Francisco Opera debut in 2004 and has performed a wide repertoire in his 13 seasons with the Company. His gallery of portrayals on the War Memorial Opera House stage includes the title roles in Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), Frank/Fritz in Korngold’s Die tote Stadt, Count Almaviva in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Dr. Malatesta in Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, Mercutio in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, Sharpless in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly and Marcello in La Bohème. The American baritone and former San Francisco Opera Adler Fellow was also a featured soloist in Opera Ball: The Centennial Celebration and The 100th Anniversary Concert during San Francisco Opera’s 2022–23 Centennial Season and has appeared in the Company’s annual Opera in the Park concerts on five occasions.

 

The performances of La Bohéme on June 13, 18 and 21 introduce three new cast members in leading roles with Evan LeRoy Johnson as Rodolfo, Nicole Car as Mimì and Brittany Renee as Musetta.

 

San Francisco Opera’s 2025 Summer Season opened June 3 and continues through June 27. The season features La Bohéme (June 3–21), Mozart’s early masterpiece Idomeneo (June 14–25) in a new-to-San Francisco Opera production by Lindy Hume conducted by Caroline H. Hume Music Director Eun Sun Kim, and a special Pride Concert and dance party which closes the mainstage season on Friday, June 27.
