Woman, (re)Defined
Women are so often defined by their relationships to other people. She is not a woman, she is a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister. Our society casts women in these concrete, singular roles. But women are anything but singular, and within a woman’s complex being lies all the wonders and mysteries of the human experience. A Woman may be a wife, a mother, a daughter, or a sister. And that is not all.

Pianist Yang Lin has been on the music staff at San Francisco Opera since 2023. He has served in multiple roles, including prompter, assistant conductor, and pianist. His recent productions with the company include the world premiere of The Monkey King, Tristan und Isolde, Partenope, Madama Butterfly, Bohème Out of the Box, The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, and Omar. He is also on the coaching faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
An active recitalist, he has performed with acclaimed singers including Nicole Car, Klaus Florian Vogt, Meigui Zhang and Jane Eaglen, earning praise from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for “unfailing accuracy and attention to color and detail that went far to compensate for lack of an orchestra in the big scenes.”
He is a graduate of the prestigious Merola Opera Program and the Adler Fellowship, an alumni of the New England Conservatory and University of Cincinnati. Born into a family steeped in the Western operatic tradition with two generations of musicians at Shanghai Opera, Lin was initially determined to avoid the family business and pursue engineering. However, a recording of Tosca moved him so much that he asked his father for a score to explore, thus beginning his passion for the art form.
