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.”

Two centuries of colonization in ‘Manahatta’

The show, whose 2018 Oregon Shakespeare Festival production is streaming as an early entry in the theater’s digital and in-person hybrid season, takes place in both the 17th and 21st centuries.
