Los Angeles Opera Plans Return for January 2021

Los Angeles, CA. The LA Opera awaits its cue to return to live performances on stage. Mozart’s Don Giovanni (seen above) is scheduled for January 30^th, 2021.

Here’s some information about the show: Superstar bass Ildebrando D’Arcangelo returns as opera’s most notorious playboy in a visually spectacular production that pulls you into the characters’ inner thoughts and shifting emotions. And with James Conlon conducting this Mozart masterpiece and a new production featuring scenery by Es Devlin (star designer of concerts for U2, Kanye West, and Beyoncé).

Meanwhile, the LA Opera company has turned to create an array of online content through the LA Opera At Home initiative, which will soon expand to include a series of exciting new Digital Shorts commissions as well as a November 14 stream of The Anonymous Lover by Joseph Bologne, the first known Black classical composer. Since the launch of LA Opera At Home in March, these popular online offerings have accumulated more than 740,000 views to date.

LA Opera is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the greater Los Angeles community.  LA Opera’s young artist program is generously underwritten by the Colburn Foundation, Eugene and Marilyn Stein, and Richard and Lenore Wayne. Tickets available now or as part of a Spring 2021 subscription package.
