Superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu made her long-awaited San Francisco Opera debut in this lush filmed version of Puccini’s elegant and poignant opera. A thoroughly Italian work inspired by Viennese operetta, it tells the story of a worldly woman who falls in love with a naïve younger man. With her intense stage presence, remarkable voice, and striking good looks, Gheorghiu has risen to the top of the opera world over the past decade, and this is one of her signature roles. The vibrant opera will spring to life on Jackson Hall’s state of the art projection and sound system.
