Pre-performance talks
Pre-Performance Talks for the 2024/25 season
One hour prior to every opera performance at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, join us 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 the opera, as well as key musical moments to look forward to. Admission to the pre-show talk is included with your ticket to the opera.
Want to hear more from Maestro Conlon? Visit James Conlon's Corner for podcasts, program notes and more.
Interested in learning more? Listen to past pre-performance talks via our Behind the Curtain Podcasts and YouTube channel.
