LA Opera

We’re happy to be back at the Los Angeles Opera for this week’s Sunday Opera (10/6 3:00 p.m.) and their production Puccini’s “Turandot.” Although a problematic opera, it has still been popular since its premier in 1926, two years after Puccini’s death.

We’re pleased to be getting operas from LA Opera again, and on this week’s Sunday Opera (9/29 3:00 p.m.), we’ve got a double bill of operas that received excellent reviews this past March: "Highway 1, USA" by William Grant Still and "The Dwarf" by Alexander von Zemlinsky.

This week's opera is by Rhianna Giddens and Michael Abels and is based on the memoir of Omar Ibn Said, a slave who was abducted from Africa when he was 37 and taken to the slave market in Charleston, SC.

This week's Sunday Opera is featuring Claude Debussy's only opera, 1902's "Pelleas et Melesande." Premiering to wildly mixed responses from audiences and critics alike, it's gone on to be considered by many to be a landmark musical work of the 20th century. This performance features Will Liverman and Sydney Mancasola in the title roles.
