FULLY-STAGED FRENCH BAROQUE OPERA!
Glaucus the merman asks Circé the sea witch to introduce him to Scylla, the sea nymph. One problem: Circé is in love with Glaucus.
The design team from PBO’s celebrated, colossal Rameau opera production in 2017 joins forces once again for another monumental staged French Baroque project. The breathtaking soprano Véronique Gens, makes her San Francisco debut as Circé, while Chantal Santon and Aaron Sheehan make their return after their critically-acclaimed performances in Le Temple de la Gloire. Witness this tale of fatal attraction before it travels to the Royal opéra de Versailles, as Nic extends his final farewell as Music Director.
