‘Dolores Claiborne’ to premiere at SF Opera
The San Francisco Opera will present the world premiere of Tobias Picker’s “Dolores Claiborne” on Sept. 18 next year.
The company said Monday that the opera, with a libretto by J.D. McClatchy, will be based on Stephen King’s 1992 novel about a character who denies killing her employer but admits murdering her husband almost three decades earlier after learning he sexually molested their 14-year-old daughter.
Mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick will sing the title character, soprano Elizabeth Futral will perform the elderly employer Vera Donovan, Susannah Biller the daughter Selena St. George, Wayne Tigges the husband Joe St. George, and Greg Fedderly will be Detective Thibodeau.
George Manahan conducts and James Robinson directs. There will be six performances through Oct. 4 of the staging, a co-production with the Opera Company of St. Louis.
