"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

"Das Ende'...of the San Francisco Opera 2010 Summer Season

I know, I KNOW.....I said "no more Opera posts''....but, frankly, it has been most of my life the past month....juggling an ear infection, uneasonably cold weather and just life in general...our Summer Season provided me with warmth, joy, strength, friendship...and, of course, beautiful music!

Here are a few photos of some of our major opera stars ... they were taken by a good friend of mine, John Martin, who is the resident photographer for San Francisco Opera. I hope you enjoy.

Happy 4th of July to those of you in the States! Happy Summer Weekend to those of you abroad!

Love,


♥ Robin ♥
