Inside Opera San José's new digital performance studio.
Named in honor of the late Fred Heiman, a significant donor and Opera San José Board Member, the new space allows the company to stream performances to audiences at home. For article click here.
San José Opera inaugurated the Fred Heiman Digital Media Studio and completed our first official audio visual capture. There is a steep learning curve ahead of us, but the team is mobilized, enthusiastic, and incredibly passionate about keeping the music going for our community for as long as this pandemic endures. We owe them our enthusiastic thanks.
And, of course, this entire endeavor is made possible by Peggy’s leadership gift in honor of Fred. We are so honored, Peggy. Thank you for enabling us to remain creative and engaged during this incredibly difficult period. It truly has become a lifeline for so many.
I hope you will all spread the word to your people far and wide! Our release date is July 11th. Tickets can be purchased here: https://www.operasj.org/dichterliebe/

It offers us, unfortunately, only a few limited examples and vocal fragments of a young and still developing Irene Dalis. Click here for more information.
