Dehn will return to the Metropolitan Opera this season as Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni and will appear at La Scala as Antonia in Les Contes d’Hoffmann and Musetta. Among her recent engagements are Musetta in La Bohème with the Metropolitan Opera and Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera, and Mimì in La Bohème with the San Diego Opera and Minnesota Opera.
The American soprano has previously appeared as Countess Almaviva with Houston Grand Opera and as Donna Anna with Opera Pacific and at the Ravinia Festival. Soprano Ellie Dehn, who made her Company debut last year as Countess Almaviva opposite Meachem, is Donna Anna. Meachem made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 2007 as General Rayevsky in War and Peace and returned last season as Mercutio in Roméo et Juliette. The American baritone has previously appeared as Don Giovanni at New Orleans Opera, the Glyndebourne Festival and the Santa Fe Opera, where the Santa Fe New Mexican wrote that his performance was “sweet, dark-grained and supple, and insinuating enough to make any woman give at the knees.” Other Mozart engagements include Count Almaviva at Munich's Bavarian State Opera and Figaro in Il Barbiere di Siviglia with Los Angeles Opera, Colorado Opera and in Portland, Maine. Leading the ensemble cast in the title role is former Adler Fellow Lucas Meachem, who starred as Count Almaviva in last fall’s Le Nozze di Figaro. Music Director Nicola Luisotti conducts the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus, and Italian film and theater director Gabriele Lavia directs this new San Francisco Opera production with sets designed by Alessandro Camera and costumes by Andrea Viotti. Opening on Saturday, October 15 with eight subsequent performances through November 10, Mozart’s exhilarating comic drama features an exciting cast of singers, including Lucas Meachem, Ellie Dehn, Serena Farnocchia, Kate Lindsey, Topi Lehtipuu and Marco Vinco.
