Opera San Jose announces 2022-23 season, with a new-look production of ‘Figaro’ and a revival of company hit ‘Cinderella.’
Opera San José’s new general director Shawna Lucey has announced the company’s 2022-23 season, featuring such classics as “Figaro,” “Cinderella” and “Falstaff.”Mainstage productions of Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro,” Alma Deutscher’s “Cinderella,” Verdi’s “Falstaff” and Puccini’s “Tosca” are on the schedule for Opera San Jose’s 2022-23 season, announced March 23 by the company’s general director, Shawna Lucey.
“I’m so excited to be bringing these titles to the stage,” said Lucey, calling from Texas, where she was directing Dallas Opera’s production of Bizet’s “The Pearl Fishers” — her last contract as a roving director of opera and theater throughout the U.S. and beyond, she noted, before she takes up her full-time post at Opera San Jose.
“This opera about class and comedy and family relations is perfectly set in Colonial India,” Lucey noted. “It was planned well before the pandemic, so it’s my great pleasure to see it over the finish line now.” Mainstage productions continue in 2023 with “Falstaff” , directed by Jose Maria Condemi and conducted by Opera San Jose music director Joseph Marcheso. Marcheso will also conduct the final season production, “Tosca” , directed by Tara Branham in her California Theatre debut as Opera San Jose’s first resident director.
“I’m thrilled,” said Lucey, noting that the Bernstein-Sondheim classic will feature supertitles in English and Spanish. “West Side Story is an incredible piece, and it absolutely belongs on the operatic stage. It tackles the big question of ‘What is America?’ The story is America, and it’s operatic in scale. It really beckons us to examine who we are.
