Pro-tip: when an oracle says he has news that you really don't want to hear, take him at his word. Please.
On June 17, the company premiere of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex streams exclusively on our On Now digital platform.
Monumental, ritualistic and filled with grandeur, this production will star tenor Russell Thomas in the title role of the king who... you know... unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother. Mezzo-soprano J'Nai Bridges is Jocasta, the queen who...you know... unknowingly marries her son. Music Director James Conlon conducts the LA Opera Orchestra in this can't-miss production.
Oedipus Rex features a narrator who describes the action throughout the course of the opera. The performance will feature incredibly imaginative projected animations created by Manual Cinema, an Emmy Award-winning performance collective, design studio and film/video production company.
