This Sunday (2/1) at 8pm KDFC will broadcast SF Opera’s recent production of Korngold’s hauntingly beautiful opera, Die Tote Stadt. You won’t want to miss this special presentation of a work that has been compared to Hitchcock’s Vertigo.  In the meantime, SF Opera just announced its line-up for the 2009-2010 season.  The season will be the first for new Music Director Nicola Luisotti (pictured).  Maestro Luisotti will conduct Verdi’s Il Trovatore which will kick off the season on September 11.  He will also helm Salome, Otello and The Girl of the Golden West.  The season includes Il Trittico by Puccini, Wagner’s Die Walkure, Gounod’s Faust, The Daughter of the Regiment by Donzetti and Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio.  Mark your calendars for the next two outdoor simulcasts from SF Opera and the SF Giants.  We’ll be at AT&T Park once again on Friday, June 5 for Puccini’s Tosca and then on Saturday, September 19, catch a free simulcast of the opera’s season-opening opera, Il Trovatore.
