Company
John Adams conductor
John Adams is one of America’s most admired and respected composers. A musician of enormous range and technical command, he has produced works, both operatic and symphonic, that stand out among all contemporary classical music for the depth of their expression, the brilliance of their sound and the profoundly humanist nature of their themes.
Peter Sellars director
Peter Sellars is one of the leading theatre, opera, and television directors in the world today, having directed more than one hundred productions, large and small, across America and abroad. A graduate of Harvard University (where during his senior year he directed Gogol's The Inspector General and Handel's opera Orlando at the A.R.T.), he studied in Japan, China, and India before becoming Artistic Director of the Boston Shakespeare Company.
Eric Owen baritone
American bass Eric Owens’ career is taking him to concert, recital and opera stages around the globe, where he has been recognized for his commanding stage presence and a wide-ranging voice of power and richness. Winner of the 2003 Marian Anderson Award, Owens’ past season was filled with two headline-making world premieres. He sang the role of General Leslie Groves in John Adams’ Doctor Atomic at the San Francisco Opera, in a production directed by Peter Sellars and conducted by Donald Runnicles.
Jessica Rivera soprano
Hailed by the New York Times as a “vocally luminous young soprano”, Jessica Rivera is quickly establishing herself as one of the leading young vocal artists of her generation. In summer 2005 she made her internationally critically acclaimed Santa Fe Opera debut as Nuria in the revised world premiere of Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar, a role she reprised for the recording of the work with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under Robert Spano for Deutsche Grammophon, in the Peter Sellars staging with Miguel Harth-Bedoya conducting at Lincoln Center in January 2006 and in performances at the Barbican Centre (London), and the Ojai and Ravinia Festivals.
Russel Thomas tenor
A native of Miami, Russell Thomas has recently completed his final season as a member of The Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program and is quickly establishing himself on the international opera and concert scene. In the 2005/06 season the tenor covered Tamino and performed the 1st Prisoner in FIDELIO at the MET, and returned to the Seattle Symphony for Mozart’s C-MINOR MASS, as well as the finale of Strauss’ IDOMENEO. Other appearances include the Sultan in Mozart’s ZAIDE at the Vienna Festwochen, The Barbican Center in London, and Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival in a new Peter Sellars production.
