Our chapter members are performing in a variety of interesting and entertaining concerts and productions throughout the next month.
This coming weekend, February 10-12, Karen Gottlieb joins Opera Parallel in their production of “Flight”. According to Tom Sutcliffe, The Evening Standard: “Flight is that rarest thing, a popular new comic opera… Dove’s music flies, the opera is fun, and people are going to love it.” Performances are at YBCA Theater, 700 Howard Street, San Francisco.
