New opera commissioned for Adams, called "The Girls of the Golden West" -- not to be confused with the similarly-titled (and similarly-themed) opera by Puccini.

My company sponsored Adams' 70th birthday festival this year, and I'm pretty sure we're one of the sponsors for that opera as well. We also tend to sponsor and commission stuff by Paul Dresher.

John Adams wrote something new for Basset Horn? Or are you talking about your opera season? I'd love to hear that! (either one)

I can't remember whether we have any premiers this year; I don't think so. We usually have a modern work, a premier, a romantic work, and an old warhorse. Usually five or six operas per season, so one or two of those categories gets doubled. Just got our tickets the other day, but I've been unusually distracted from it all. I can't tell you a single work on the season. But soon I'll get to it and start getting ready for it. I think our first performance is late October.
The Girls of the Golden West is the Adams premier in November for SFO.
