WOW! The San Francisco Opera knocked my socks off with BONESETTERS DAUGHTER. Technically, Theatrically and Musically it was the most amazing opera I have ever seen. The use of multimedia splashes of fast moving animation and sudden stops filled with acrobats and a breathtaking score. Amy Tan's story of strong women across three generations was beautiful. The standout being the character "Precious Auntie" - who is a ghost - and who sings in a minor key even when the orchestra is not - her words sung across octave long precision slide/glissando always not quite resolving. It gave a musical match to her other-wordly appearance. The choreography of Precious Aunty gave her a VERY real specter quality. Honestly - the most amazing opera I've ever seen. Michael and Michael scored jaw dropping seats - eighth row center. A simply AMAZING night.
