San Francisco Opera is set to present “Strauss in Concert,” conducted by Caroline H. Hume Music Director Eun Sun Kim.

The showcase, which will be presented on Nov. 6. at the War Memorial Opera House, will feature the U.S. premiere of a new suite of music from Strauss’ opera “Der Rosenkavalier” and a song cycle setting works by the nineteenth-century Romantic poet Clemens Brentano.

The program opens with “Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks,” followed by Strauss’ “Sechs Lieder” featuring soprano Adela Zaharia.

After intermission, Kim and the San Francisco Opera Orchestra will present the U.S. premiere of “Der Rosenkavalier Suite,” a new arrangement by Swiss conductor Philippe Jordan and arranger Tomáš Ille.

Throughout her tenure Kim has led a wide repertoire of opera and concert works, including the world premiere of John Adams’ “Antony and Cleopatra,” Richard Wagner’s “Parsifal,” Giuseppe Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra,” and Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Fidelio.” She has also conducted the music of Richard Strauss, including “Ariadne auf Naxos” and “Elektra.”
