I'll be in the chorus for Gounod's not-often-performed opera, conducted by the great Maestro Walker. WCO says "Unusual for its time, Gounod's first opera rejected traditional elements of French grand opera in favor of a deeply psychological drama. Sapho centers around intense, competing love affairs - developing within the context of the ancient Greek Olympics - all while the tantalizing possibility of a political coup bubbles just beneath the surface."
