Galatea by David Templeton
At Spreckels Theatre Company
By: - Sep 06th, 2021Robot, replicant, android, or body snatcher – one of science-fiction’s leading obsessions has long been the fear of alien or man-made “beings” replacing humans. In playwright David Templeton’s “Galatea,” the near future envisions an outer-space centered universe populated by organics, like you (I think) and me, as well as synthetics, the latter being created by the former to appear and behave exactly like humans.

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. To begin with, this is a mature and confident Puccini in the follow up to his equally renowned “La Boheme.” The opera’s dissonant, ominous opening salvo of the Scarpia theme announces the tragedy to come, while the ensuing score resounds with rich melody, haunting leitmotifs, and several memorable “greatest hits” arias.

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.
