No new production, no exciting premiere, no super big names (Alice Coote, for all her talent, is not exactly a household name). Still worth seeing, if you ask me, but more difficult to sell. </p> http://sfist.com/2008/10/21/sf_opera_idomeneo.php#comment-1492811 http://sfist.com/2008/10/21/sf_opera_idomeneo.php#comment-1492811 Comments Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:37:34 -0800 <p>b.t.w., if you use the discount code "NEPTUNE9" via the SF Opera web page at http://sfopera.com/purchase/offers, you can get 50% off the ticket price to see Idomeneo. Hope this helps someone. (I have to wonder if the S.F. Opera is hard up for attendance, what with the economic downturn & all)</p>
