French soprano Julie Fuchs is the current toast of her operatic genre, as much as the character she portrays in the San Francisco Opera production of George Frideric Handel’s “Partenope.” Last weekend’s audience cheered, screamed, applauded, and thrilled to Fuchs’s electrifying dispatch of the daunting role—her final aria even stopped the show in its tracks! With glamorous costuming accentuating her sensuous figure, Fuchs owned the stage from start to finish. She also had gorgeous vocal company in the form of Italian countertenor Carlo Vistoli making his company debut as her erstwhile lover Arsace. And from the comic gymnastics of Alek Shrader as Emilio, the Man Ray/Andre Bretonesque linchpin of director Christopher Alden‘s chic concept. Yes there’s a plot: Arsace, Armindo (countertenor Nicholas Tamagna), Emilio, and Eurimene (a cross-dressing mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack) all want to marry Partenope, Queen of Naples, who is attended with antic camp by Ormonte (baritone Hadleigh Adams).

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
