Faust by Berlioz in Salzburg
A Masterpiece Revealed
By: - Aug 27th, 2021La Damnation of Faust is a glorious dramatic legend. It bombed in Paris, much to composer Hector Berlioz’ dismay and confusion. Yet even members of the orchestra he conducted at the premiere asked the composer about notes he wrote. “That note does not exist,” complained a horn player. “It sounds like a sneeze.” “That’s just what I wanted,” replied Berlioz. No one contests the musicality of the "Romane" aria, "D'amour l'ardente flame," so beautiful that it was selected to conclude the memorial service for Maria Callas.

Giacomo Puccini's Tosca
Produced by San Francisco Opera
By: - Aug 29th, 2021What is it about “Tosca” that endows it with near universal appeal? There have been naysayers who find the action and music of verismo to be too violent and vulgar, but they are now few.
