Our latest spotlight was centered on the latest San Francisco Opera world premiere, Heart of a Soldier, by American composer Christopher Theofanidis – commissioned to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 – running from Sep.10-30, 2011. Our spotlight includes an introductory article by Artistic Director Nolan Gasser, and in-depth interviews with three key players in creating the opera: David Gockley, the General Director of SF Opera, who commissioned the work; its composer, Christopher Theofanidis; and its star vocalist, baritone Thomas Hampson – who portrays Rick Rescorla, a security director who saved over 2700 people in the South Tower of the World Trade Center after the planes hit.
