LA Opera's online events for April 13 through 16


(Los Angeles) April 11, 2020 — During its unplanned hiatus from public performances, LA Opera has created an extensive array of online programming under the banner LAO at Home. Here's what's on tap for next week.

  • Monday, April 13, at 7pm PDT — Living Room Recital: Special Edition
    With the kids at home and restless during these stressful times, a lot of us (both young and old) are having a hard time getting enough sleep. Many singers are parents too. We invited some of LAO's favorites — including Morris Robinson, Janai Brugger, Arturo Chacón-Cruz and Erin Morley — to show us what they're doing to soothe their young ones at bedtime, with this special lullaby edition of Living Room Recitals.

  • Tuesday, April 14, at 5:30pm PDT — Learn at Home (Grown-Up Edition)
    Jeremy Frank, the company's Associate Chorus Master, is back for another Opera Happy Hour. Pour yourself a glass of something nice (or whatever you have on hand) and settle in for a virtual gathering of operatic proportions.

  • Wednesday, April 15, at 5pm PDT — From the Vault
    An audio-only livestream of LAO's 2019 production of La Bohème, featuring Saimir Pirgu and Marina Costa-Jackson and conducted by James Conlon.

  • Thursday, April 16, at 3pm PDT — Living Room Recital
    Let Will Liverman's beautiful baritone voice travel from his home to yours and get a taste of what to expect when he takes the stage as Leporello in Don Giovanni next season.
