Palo Alto Fund-raiser
Cast members and the composer of the San Francisco Opera's premiere production,
Dead Man Walking, will appear at a Palo Alto concert in October to benefit
the Chaplaincy Service of Stanford Hospital and Clinics and the Children's
Center of the Stanford Community.
The concert, entitled Songs for Care and Healing, is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15 at Spangenberg Theater at Palo Alto's Gunn High School, the Chaplaincy Service has announced.
The performance features seven prominent cast members of the new opera, which is scheduled to open the San Francisco Opera's fall season on Oct. 7, eight days before the Palo Alto performance. Performers include Susan Graham, the mezzo-soprano who plays Sister Helen Prejean, and baritone John Packard, who plays the death row inmate the nun counsels and befriends prior to his execution. The opera is based on a true story dramatized earlier in a popular motion picture starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn.
The concert will feature excerpts from the opera as well as personal favorites of the performers.
In addition to the performance, concert benefactors or supporters will be invited to a post concert meet-the-stars reception and buffet at the Portola Valley home of Jacques Littlefield.
For ticket reservations or for more information, call (650) 723-5101.
