Los Angeles Opera - The Old Man and The Sea

The Los Angeles Opera presents a new adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's classic novella, The Old Man and The Sea. This production marks the West Coast premiere of a chamber opera by composer Paola Prestini and librettist Royce Vavrek, bringing a contemporary operatic voice to a familiar, profound story of struggle and resilience. It's an opportunity to see how modern opera interprets literary giants. This performance takes place on Friday, May 21, 2027, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. The Wallis's intimate Goldsmith Theater setting is well-suited for a chamber opera, offering a close connection to the stage. This event will appeal to opera enthusiasts, literary fans, and those interested in new works pushing the boundaries of classical forms.
