NEWCOMER PACKAGE

You’ve had a flight of wine. How about a flight of opera?

Admit it: you’re curious about opera. But perhaps you’re a little worried you won’t fit in or understand what’s going on. Trust us, all kinds of people attend LA Opera, and if you can read this paragraph, you can read the subtitles we provide right above the action onstage.

We admit, though, that like wine, opera can take a bit of tasting before you get completely hooked (our true intent). So we’ve carefully curated a flight of opera just for virgin taste buds and paired it with some basics to help get you started.

Join us for the Next Newcomer Night:

Preshow lectures begin at 6:30 PM and performances begin at 7:30 PM

  • Wednesday, Jun 17, 2020 | The Marriage of Figaro (A beloved comedy where the servant is the real master-mind.

TICKET DONATION

If you can’t make a performance of that opera, don't fret,  you may donate your ticket back to LA Opera (FYI: we are a non-profit organization) for a tax-deductible donation (now it's your accountant's problem).**
