One of the recent Merola Program stars-in-waiting, Heidi Melton is a soprano with a big career ahead of her singing the big Wagner roles.
You can wait to shell out $100 to see her at the Metropolitan Opera, a football field away from your seat, or you can hear her sing Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, and songs by Alban Berg, Samuel Barber, and Richard Strauss for $14 at San Francisco's Old First Church this Saturday. Your call.
