Conductor

Violinist

Inside the ornamented drawing rooms of a buttoned-up society, three young outsiders flame into mismatched passion and combust, hurtling toward irreparable choices. Tchaikovsky’s long-suppressed queerness floods into every character of this propulsive drama, as they smash against one of the most romantic operatic scores in history. Our radical adaptation maps the composer’s own complex biography onto his characters and asks — how can we ever break free of the life we are born into?

Spring Festival 2024 Eugene Onegin

Baruch College

The disco balls have stopped spinning at the only gay club in St. Petersburg, and there’s time for one last bedtime story. It’s Queers versus Kremlin tonight in an eye-popping, ear-thrilling battle replete with ambrosial arias, rude roosters, and a dacha full of divas. Don your dress, down your vodka, and dream dirty at Heartbeat Opera’s frisky riff on Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerel.

The Golden Cock

Roulette Intermedium

Come dressed as your favorite season! And get ready for unforgettable experiences as SFBaroque's violinists will play each of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" concertos while moving throughout the room, performing some of the wildest music of the Baroque from only an arm's distance away. Specialty cocktails will be designed for the night's theme, and casual cafe-style seating offers easy mingling with the performers.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons

San Francisco War Memorial

Listening to superb chamber music is an exquisite experience unlike any other. Mozart's genius shines through in his Flute Quartet with refinement and grace at every turn. And one of the most alluring sounds of Classical period instruments is created by the clarinet. World-renowned clarinetist Thomas Carroll delivers the silken and velvety sonorities of Mozart's Quintet. And no work from the Classical era has ever eclipsed the sheer excitement and brilliance of Mendelssohn's breathtaking Octet.

Classical Genius

War Memorial and Performing Arts Center

Soprano Mary Wilson's scintillating vocalism will captivate your ears in performances of two of Handel's most beautiful secular cantatas. Viola da gamba and recorders are at the core of the instrumental ensemble sonority, and two tour-de-force concertos for virtuoso violin bring excitement and palpable bravura to the stage.
