The upcoming world premiere of Christopher Theofanidis’s new opera, Heart of a Soldier, which opens at San Francisco Opera on September 10, continues to be featured in the international media.  Writer Damian Fowler, who worked with author James B. Stewart on the book that inspired the creation of the opera, provides a detailed report, including interviews with all of the major contributors to the opera, in the September issue of Gramophone magazine.  In London’s Guardian, Hampson writes in his own words about the importance and meaning of the project, and his creation of its central character, Rick Rescorla.  Hampson’s essay is available at this link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/aug/25/heart-of-a-soldier-9-11?INTCMP=SRCH
