The original idea for the tribute came from Claramae’s friend, Joan Perry Ryan. Joan collaborated with Claramae, Matthew Shilvock (who last month was chosen as the next SFO General Director) and Jess Shown-Morgan (SFO Media Coordinator) to produce this amazing video. The video premièred on a huge screen at the Ball Park just before a simulcast of The Marriage of Figaro. Many people in the audience were stunned by the beauty of Claramae’s Contralto voice.
