Directed by Tara Branham and conducted by Opera San Jose music director Joseph Marcheso, Natale tops a cast that also includes tenor Adrian Kramer as Cavaradossi and baritone Kidon Choi as Scarpia. The production runs April 15-30 at the California Theatre. Shawna Lucey, Opera San Jose’s general director, agrees, adding that she’s been thrilled to witness Natale’s work in those diverse roles for the company. Now she has nothing but praise for the soprano’s Tosca.
As for the opera’s male principals — Kramer, singing the role of Cavaradossi, and Choi as Scarpia — Lucey said they’re also exceeding expectations. Both are singing their roles for the first time. The two directors met in 2021, she recalled, when Lucey was directing “Tosca” at San Francisco Opera.
