The Pearl Fishers

This evening we were joined by daughter Nancy and her friend Janet for dinner at Indigo followed by the San Francisco Opera presentation of The Pearl Fishers by Georges Bizet. This wonderful opera is a favorite of mine but it is rarely produced. This is the first time that I have heard a live performance. And, what a performance! Charles Castronovo was spectacular as Nadir, the ballet was created for this production by John Malashok, and vivid sets were designed by Sandra Rhodes.

This was the kind of evening that makes us glad to live in the San Francisco Bay area.

I was just listening to Jussi Bjoerling and Robert Merrill sing the famous duet from The Pearl Fishers. Our night with the SF Opera was just as good.
