A startling amount of opera in German next season, plus a world premiere and a Händel opera outside the standard repertoire. I am most looking forward to Ariodante as it has two of my most favorite singers, Ruth Ann Swenson as Ginevra and Ewa Podleś finally making her SF Opera debut as Polinesso. Angela Gheorghiu is also having her SF debut in La Rondine as Magda. As for interesting returns, Olga Borodina reprises her role as Dalila and William Burden sings Tom Rakewell.
