Name: Leilani Patao 
Grade: 10 

Opera Activities: Leilani has been an ambassador for LA Opera’s 90012 program. 

Opera Character: For the first image, Leilani referenced The Light in the Piazza since she loves the show. She noted that her dog made a great scene partner! For her second image, Leilani chose a scene from Eurydice that resonated with her. Leilani said, “I thought the lighting and the emotion on her face somehow resonated with me as how I feel during my many Zoom meetings.” 

Opera Future: Leilani hopes to one day sing the roles of Sesto from Mozart’s The Clemency of Titus and Juliette in Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet. If she weren’t a performer, she would be a costume designer or director.
