San Diego Opera is serving up three single-act, horror-inspired operas from its late, beloved director of education Nicolas Reveles.
"I'm very excited about that, and to be produced by my home company as well as it's a big professional opera company in the United States," Reveles said in an interview from May 2022."The horror is up front and center," Reveles enthused.
At the rehearsal last week at the East San Diego Masonic Temple, de los Santos and conductor Bruce Stasyna were discussing a scene and how the stage would go completely black and how"Nic would love it"."I just told him creepy. I want jump scares. I want everything a horror movie would have," Reveles said in a Zoom interview from hospice care."Nic loved horror and I love horror," de los Santos explained."But we also both loved opera.
Last December, the passion was still there but cancer was taking a toll and his usual bubbling energy was not as evident. But he was still eager to discuss"Ghosts." "And from then on, I was hooked on horror," Reveles said."I don't know what it is really, but there's something about about the darkness and about being scared and about telling a story that might frighten people even just a little bit that I've always enjoyed. I always enjoyed telling campfire stories, and writing horror stories, and even with an old 8mm camera making my own werewolf film when I was twelve, I love that stuff.
