Jordi Bernàcer
San Francisco Opera Music Director Nicola Luisotti announced that Company Resident Conductor Giuseppe Finzi has stepped down in order to accept a growing demand of international conducting assignments that conflict with his position in San Francisco. Beginning with the 2015–16 Season, San Francisco Opera welcomes Spanish conductor Jordi Bernàcer as the Company’s new resident conductor through December 2017. In his upcoming assignments, Bernàcer will serve as special musical assistant to Music Director Luisotti on this season’s repertory. San Francisco Opera’s 93rd repertory season begins Friday, September 11 with Verdi’s Luisa Miller.
