ayhem, murder,
madness, and matadors — they are all on
stage this season
at LA Opera.
The company presents dazzling productions of
the world’s great operas, from classic favorites
such as Bizet’s Carmen to rarely staged contemporary works such as Einstein on the Beach by
Philip Glass. The operas may be diverse, but
they share world-class singers, virtuosic conducting, and enthralling production designs.
Magically transporting audiences to another
world is par for the course at LA Opera. General director Plácido Domingo notes that the
usairwaysmag.com
company has long benefited from a close association with top entertainment industry talent.
“Since its inception, LA Opera has had
strong ties to Hollywood,” Domingo says.
“Woody Allen, William Friedkin, Bruce Beresford, Franco Zeffirelli, Julie Taymor and Herb
Ross — all great directors — have created unforgettable operatic productions for us. The
acting community has embraced us as well;
audiences are no longer surprised to find
Hollywood stars mingling at intermission.”
Kicking off the 2013–14 season, Domingo
will conduct four of the seven performances of
Carmen, starring Irish mezzo-soprano Patricia
Bardon in the title role. Domingo himself will
star in the spring production of Thaïs, singing
Athanaël, a baritone role that he recently performed to great acclaim in Seville and Valencia,
Spain. Georgian soprano Nino Machaidze will
