The 99th season of San Francisco Opera continues from June 4 to July 3 at the War Memorial Opera House. The 2022 summer season includes a new production of Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; a return engagement from Bright Sheng and David Henry Hwang’s Dream of the Red Chamber; and Caroline H. Hume’s musical director, Eun Sun Kim, conduct the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, Chorus and Soloists in a one-night concert featuring music by Giuseppe Verdi.

In a casting update, tenor Konu Kim will make his company debut and the role of Bao Yu in Dream of the Red Chamber, replacing Yijie Shi who stepped down for personal reasons. Kim is originally from South Korea and is a recent graduate of the Young Artists Program at the Royal Opera London, Covent Garden. He emerged on the international scene with performances at the Donizetti Festival in Bergamo and the Glyndebourne Festival. With Glyndebourne in 2021, Kim portrayed Ferrando in Nicholas Hytner’s production of Così fan tutte and was Ernesto in Don Pasquale at Glyndebourne and on tour across England. Kim made her acclaimed debut at the 2019 Donizetti Festival as Casaldi’s Leone in the premiere of an early version of the composer’s La Favorita titled L’Ange de Nisida. OperaWire hailed the tenor’s performance in the Bergamo production as “revealing…he’s a tenor to watch”.
