Notes & Reviews:

Lotfi Mansouri's spectacular last production as General Director of San Francisco Opera with Yvonne Kenny making her debut in the title role, new dialogue specially commissioned from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Wendy Wasserstein, and an original ballet to set the scene 'Chez Maxim's', bringing fresh insight into Lehar's classic operetta. "This is about as lavish a production of Franz Lehar's adorable operetta as you are ever likely to see...soprano Yvonne Kenny is perfectly cast in the title role." Classic FM Magazine
