Opera Parallèle, San Francisco’s small but mighty champion of contemporary opera, is continuing its musical crusade for the 16th year. The season will see the world premiere of Hello, Star by composer Carla Lucero and librettist Jarrod Lee. Hello, Star, commissioned through the company’s Hands-on-Opera community engagement program, is intended as a “family-friendly opera that celebrates curiosity and the contributions of Black women to science.” The work will be created during OP’s upcoming residency at 836M in North Beach — a process in collaboration with the University of San Francisco Chorus, with L. Peter Callender on board to stage-direct. — San Francisco Classical Voice
