Making his @sfopera debut, George Petean, stars as Count di Luna in "Il trovatore," opening Tuesday. Petean speaks about Verdian voices, why "Trovatore" is a beloved #opera, and why, for this baritone, singing #Verdi keeps things all in the family. https://t.co/McdE3DOCWe

The Romanian singer, making his SF Opera debut in Il trovatore, has been well taught but also has the right tools for the trade.

Remembering with huge admiration the great British tenor Graham Clark. He sang with @sfopera three times in a diverse array of repertoire: Albert Gregor in Makropulos, The Witch in Hansel & Gretel and, pictured here, as Piet the Pot in Le Grand Macabre. An extraordinary artist.

A much deserved bow from Janet Popesco Archibald as she retires from the @sfoperaorchestr after 32 years of glorious artistry that has nourished the soul of the company. Thank you Janet for such extraordinary devotion to excellence and for making @SFOpera your artistic home.

My heart is full! I am so proud to be a part of this glorious company. We carry forth the legacy of all who have gone before and we honor the thousands who have brought to life sublime art on this stage. It is humbling and exhilarating to be at this moment. Happy 100 @SFOpera!

You wonât find projections or high-tech re-creations of work by Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in âEl Ășltimo sueño de Frida y Diegoâ at @sfopera. âWe went back to the aesthetics of painting,â said the operaâs director, Lorena Maza.

Die Frau Ohne Schatten was one of the greatest collection of voices to ever step on the @SFOpera stage!

Going big for the Centennial @sfopera. The largest orchestra weâve had in the pit with 96 members of the extraordinary @sfoperaorchestr for Straussâ Frau ohne Schatten conducted by @MaestroDCR. Come see what itâs like to be in the middle of that much sound. Itâs beyond intense.

One minute we were gazing at the San Francisco opera houseâs gorgeous chandelier from the orchestra pit. The next minute we were climbing down inside it to see how they change the lightbulbs. I love my job. #TotalSF
