On September 12, the San Francisco Opera will officially open its new season at the War Memorial Opera House with Giuseppe Verdi’s masterwork, Simon Boccanegra. At the center of this opening night celebration is Italian soprano Eleonora Buratto, who makes her company debut performing the role of Amelia Grimaldi.
For San Francisco audiences, the performance offers an opportunity to experience one of international opera’s most celebrated vocalists at the peak of her career. For Buratto herself, stepping onto the War Memorial stage represents far more than just another milestone.
