In Song: Meigui Zhang

For soprano Meigui Zhang, pursuing her dream of opera meant life a world away from her homeland and loved ones in her native China. There, as a child she would sing to passersby on the grounds of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, where her parents — a traditional folk singer and a classical tenor — taught and performed. In this new episode of "In Song," filmed in New York City and Chengdu, Zhang reflects on the words of Eva Dell'Acqua's song "Villanelle," which she performs with pianist Ken Noda: "I have followed for a long time with my eyes / the flight of the traveler… / Since then, my dreaming soul accompanies her through the skies / To the mysterious land!" Shortly before her star turn as Dai Yu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" at San Francisco Opera, the fast-rising artist reconnects with her family in Chengdu and collaborates with virtuoso musician Zhou Yi on the Kazakh folk song "A Lovely Rose." "In Song: Meigui Zhang" is now online: sfopera.com/insong #INSongSF (Produced with Lumahai Productions | Directed by Elena Park)
