Her association with “Les Troyens” began with an important Opéra National de Paris production five years earlier. The performance was my first opportunity to see and hear French soprano Régine Crespin perform in a French opera at the War Memorial Opera House. The first performance, which took place eight nights prior, was the occasion of the San Francisco Opera debuts of two emoinent French artists: Maestro Jean Périsson and director Louis Erlo. One week after my second “Rigoletto” performance of San Francisco Opera’s 1966 Fall season, I was to experience the third and final performance of the Amercan professional stage premiere production of Hector Berlioz’ masterpiece “Les Troyens”. This is the tenth of fourteen such observances of performances from the company’s 1966 Fall season.
Note from William: This post continues my series of observances of historic performances that I attended at San Francisco Opera during the general directorship woof Kurt Herbert Adler.
