The San Francisco Opera is livestreaming one performance of each of its operas during its Summer Season starting with Innocence, an opera by Finnish composer  Kaija Saaariaho.   It takes place at a joyous wedding celebration which takes a shocking turn when the darkest of secrets is revealed.

 Stela, sung by Lilian Farahani, believes she’s found love with her new husband, played by Miles Mykkanen. But amid the joy of their wedding reception, a waitress recognizes the groom as the brother of a gunman in a school shooting ten years ago. And the bride doesn’t know.….

Innocence will be livestreamed on Wednesday, June 12th, at 7.30pm Pacific Time but for those of us in different time zones, there is a 48-hour on-demand window to enable us to access the performance at a civilised hour.
