SJ Opera offers ‘Love & Secrets’ Written by Los Altos Town Crier Report
Opera San Jose’s latest digital offering, “Love & Secrets: A Domestic Trilogy,” is available for viewing through Monday.
The fully staged production comprises three tales of passion and yearning, as couples contend with the tumult, joys and heartache of love.
“For couples around the globe, this extended period of quarantine has forced romantic relationships into uncharted territories,” said Opera San Jose general director Khori Dastoor, a Los Altos resident. “The rhythm of domestic life has been disrupted and challenged as never before. Despite prolonged physical closeness, feelings of isolation emerge, inviting questions about the very foundations of partnership as each person evolves, both as individuals and in relation to one another.”
Los Angeles Opera s new Signature Recital Series gives vocal music fans exclusive access to astounding performances in intimate settings-filmed in stunning venues across this country and in Europe-streamed directly to home screens. Tenor Russell Thomas, LA Opera s Artist in Residence, partners with pianist Mi-Kyung Kim for a mesmerizing rendition of Schumann s
Dichterliebe (Poet s Love), Total Eclipse from Handel s Samson, and love songs by Adolphus Hailstork and Robert Owens.
From the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham sings a collection of songs by 20th-century composer Kurt Weill that range from the yearning Lonely House, to the tantalizing I m a Stranger Here Myself, and the nostalgic September Song. Russell Thomas and Susan Graham s recitals will be available until July. Recitals by Christine Goerke, Julia Bullock and J Nai Bridges will become available in May and June. Access to all five concerts costs $30 for LAO subscribers and $45
