Presented by San Francisco Opera

Opera Aficionado is an exciting, new suite of programs designed for patrons who are passionate about opera. Aficionado provides an opportunity to learn more, dive deeper, and get an inside look at the world of opera. As part of Opera Aficionado, our Interactive Lectures Series gives opera-goers around the world a front-row seat to scholarly talks, allowing attendees to dialogue with fellow opera lovers, experts, and special guests. Each month will be focused on a concept or theme relevant to all of us. Due to the interactive nature of this event, attendance is limited. Programs are subject to change. Speakers: Composer David Conte & Dramaturg Emeritus Kip Cranna Composing an opera… the task is just as daunting as it sounds! But how does one go about writing an opera? Join San Francisco Opera Dramaturge Emeritus, Kip Cranna, as we seek to answer this question with noted San Francisco-based composer and professor, David Conte. Hear about David’s own journey as an opera composer, the important mentorship he received along the way, and the new generation of composers he has nurtured as Chair of the Composition Department at San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
