LA Opera's online events for April 6 through 10


(Los Angeles) April 3, 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 6, at 4pm PDT — Living Room Recital

  • Tuesday, April 7, at 2pm PDT — Opera Family Time
    Livestream of The Prospector, an adaptation of Puccini's The Girl of the Golden West for kids. The whole family can learn about the Gold Rush in operatic fashion together.

  • Wednesday, April 8, at 4pm PDT — Opera to Learn By
    In a new audio podcast, Music Director James Conlon dives into the operas of two great composers, Debussy and Wagner, and explores how their works influenced each other.

  • Thursday, April 9, at 4pm PDT — Living Room Recital
    Soprano Sylvia D'Eramo and baritone Michael J. Hawk perform some of their favorite songs and arias.

  • Friday, April 10, at 4pm PDT — Backstage at LAO
    We turn a spotlight onto our talented stage crew, without whom the show most definitely wouldn't go on.
