It was one of those occasions that I bet I’ll be telling my grandchildren about. Last night I saw the world premiere production of Amy Tan’s The Bonesetter’s Daughter, a new opera at San Francisco Opera. I should say a new opera with music by Stewart Wallace and libretto by Amy Tan, based on her novel. Anyway, it was thrilling to be a witness to something that felt so vital. The production was stunning visually but it was the haunting music and compelling story of the love between a mother and daughter through the ages that brought me to tears more than once. There are only a few performances remaining but Hoyt is giving away tickets to this Saturday’s performance on his Commuter Quiz at 6:30 all this week on the KDFC Morning Show. Try not to miss it!
