12/18/2006: Joanne begins rehearsals with the San Diego Opera!
Joanne will be in four operas with the San Diego Opera (www.sdopera.com) from December to April.
Information about them (taken from the San Diego Opera's beautiful website) is below, and you can go to http://www.sdopera.com/tickets/pricing.html for seat information and pricing.
Boris Godunov
The coronation scene, with the bells of the Kremlin ringing out and the chorus bursting with enormous vocal force, is just one of the powerful moments in this true classic story of a Czar who arranged the murder of the young Dimitri, rightful heir to the throne. Boris now occupies the throne as underlings plot around him, and a false Dimitri plans to attack Moscow. Driven to an insane, agonizing death by his guilty conscience, Boris dies in the council chamber, a broken man.
The role of Boris is a dream role for every bass and we have todays most acclaimed Boris, Ferruccio Furlanetto, the only Italian ever to sing the role in Russia.
Set amid the glittering opulence of sixteenth century Czarist Russia, this historic opera, with sumptuous sets and costumes, lush orchestration and a huge chorus, will most certainly be a bravura production.
Show times:
- Saturday, January 27, 2007, 7pm
- Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 7pm
- Friday, February 2, 2007, 8pm
- Sunday, February 4, 2007, 2pm
Samson and Delilah
International superstar Denyce Graves makes her dazzling San Diego Opera debut as the biblical seductress Delilah, joined by a magnificent Samson direct from the Metropolitan Opera celebrated tenor Clifton Forbis.
Theyll sing you the Bibles passionate story of the Philistine temptress who pits her wiles, and her sex, against the superhuman strength of the mighty Hebrew warrior. Shearing his hair, she steals his strength and triumphs in her battle only to lose the war as he brings the pillars of her world crashing down upon them in the spectacular finale.
The music moves expressively from the sounds of romantic love to an erotic pagan bacchanal, painting a stunning picture of the ancient world. Add our superstar cast along with lavish sets & costumes and you have a taste of the exotic, the erotic and the primitive. An opera of biblical proportions.
Show times:
- Saturday, February 17, 2007, 7pm

Il trovatore
From the composer of La traviata comes another incredibly popular opera rich in melody and exciting choruses, arias to die for and one of the most intriguing plots in all of opera. Il trovatore tells the story of a vengeful mother who steals the baby of her enemy, raises him as her own and sets him against his brother who competes for the same woman and political power. Not knowing they are related, one brother captures, tortures and executes the other, only to find out too late from the deranged woman that it was his own sibling.
Singing the roles of the brothers will be Covent Garden stars Nicola Rossi Giordano and Alexandru Agache, joined by Vienna State Opera star Paoletta Marrocu and from the Metropolitan Opera, Marianne Cornetti. Four great voices, Verdis brilliant music, a story of love, jealousy and vengeance&what more could you want?

Wozzeck
This extraordinary opera of torment, power, hatred and murder marks the opera directing debut of Tony AwardŽ Winner Des McAnuff, artistic director of the La Jolla Playhouse. With music so extraordinary, descriptive and dramatic, you will be immediately enveloped in the excruciating emotion of Bergs music.
Wozzeck is a powerless and oppressed soldier, a guinea pig for medical experiments in order to get money, his common-law wife, the mother of his illegitimate son. Humiliated by her affairs with his superiors, his jealousy, neurotic behavior and madness bring murder and suicide.
Sung in English with Franz Hawlata, the worlds foremost Wozzeck, in a new production designed by a Tony AwardŽ winning team. Wozzeck will disturb, fascinate and excite you in a single tense and powerful 90 minute act. The theatrical experience of the year!
