Hey @CityofLdnOnt… our street, Dewar Place, seriously needs to be plowed. We’re not a thoroughfare but It’s been several days…

My heart is breaking for Carmen’s husband and inseparable partner, Chris, and their whole family. She was a fabulous artist, great colleague, and a wonderful, warm, generous, and supportive human being. So very sad.

[Vancouver Opera @VancouverOpera]

The Vancouver Opera family is saddened by the news of the sudden passing of Carmen Garcia. Carmen was Vancouver Opera’s long-standing Head of Make-Up since 1986 and had worked for VO in the make-up department since 1978.

Tonight San Francisco will be lit red as we urge support for the 12 million people who work in live events. Help us sustain this community that nourishes the soul of society. 77% are without any income. #RedAlert #RedAlertRESTART #WeMakeEvents #ExtendPUA #meetopera @SFOpera

@SFOpera Lori Harrison is brilliant. Just sayin’.

[Michael Cavanagh @mcavopera]

Such a pleasure to work with this remarkable man, a giant of the art form. Loved every minute of developing and directing this production. “His masterpiece” is right!

[San Francisco Opera @SFOpera]

"I think I would be far too cranky." Writer-composer Carlisle Floyd gets real about the challenges of working with librettists — outside of himself, of course — ahead of our weekend streaming event, his masterpiece "Susannah."

Hear his work this weekend: https://t.co/tYseJJEsKg

[Michael Cavanagh @mcavopera]

Great memories of this production and thrilled that it’s being streamed this weekend.

[San Francisco Opera @SFOpera]

Grab your first look at the one of the defining works of American opera: Carlisle Floyd's "Susannah."

Patricia Racette delivers a heartbreaking performance in this weekend's streaming event, broadcasting free on our website starting Saturday at 10 a.m.: https://t.co/tYseJJEsKg

[Andrew Cotter @MrAndrewCotter]

Looking forward to working with these two again soon. It hasn't always been easy.
