Chea Kang as the Sandman
Hansel und Gretel

The Merola Grand Finale took place this past Saturday, August 16, at the War Memorial Opera House. As always, there was a ton of great singing. Chea Kang, above, was particularly wonderful as Humperdinck's Sandman, from Hansel and Gretel. Between her singing and Elio Bucky's canny direction, I couldn't take my eyes off her.
Media roundup, links to follow for the other writers:
- Lisa Hirsch, S.F. Chronicle and SFCV
- Joshua Kosman, On a Pacific Aisle
- Opera Tattler. I should also have mentioned the wholly unnecessary amplification of Charlotte Siegel and Justice Yates in their number.
- Michael Anthonio, Parterre Box
- Michael Strickland, S.F. Civic Center
