San Francisco Opera is set to present “Live and In Concert: The Homecoming” on Sept. 10.

The concert will feature Music Director Eun Sun Kim alongside soloists Rachel Willis-Sørensen and Jamie Barton. The concert will be held at the War Memorial Opera House and will be simulcast at Oracle Park. Kim, Willis-Sørensen, and Barton first performed together in the company’s 2019 production of Antonín Dvořák’s “Rusalka.”

The evening will feature selections from Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata,” “Don Carlo,” and “Aida,” Gaetano Donizetti’s “La Favorite” and “Anna Bolena,” Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Samson et Dalila,” Dvořák’s “Rusalka,” and Vincenzo Bellini’s “Norma.”

Willis-Sørensen made her San Francisco Opera debut in the company’s 2015 production of Wagner’s “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” while Barton made her debut in 2014 in “Norma.” She has since performed in the company’s Ring Cycle, Donizetti’s “Roberto Devereux” and “Rusalka” program.

This season Kim conducted the opening production of Puccini’s “Tosca” and is set to lead the company’s upcoming production of “Fidelio.”
