Pre-performance talks
Pre-Performance Talks for the 2026/27 season
One hour prior to every opera performance of Carmen in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, join LA Opera Chorus Master Jeremy Frank in the Eva and Marc Stern Grand Hall for a pre-performance talk.
An enormously popular highlight of the LA Opera experience, you'll learn about the history and plot of Carmen, as well as key musical moments to look forward to. Admission to the pre-show talk is included with your ticket to the opera.
Interested in learning more? Listen to past pre-performance talks via our Behind the Curtain Podcasts and YouTube channel.
