General Director Plácido Domingo, will perform as both singer and
conductor, leading the LA Opera Orchestra in An Evening of Zarzuela & Latin
American Music on Friday, June 7 at 7:30pm at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
Celebrating the rich tradition of Spanish Zarzuela, this concert highlights the
works of composers Roberto Chapí, Federico Moreno-Toroba, José Serrano and
others who defined the Golden Age of this genre. With repertory hand-selected by
Plácido Domingo, whose parents were celebrated singers of Zarzuela, the concert
will bring this cherished and wonderfully evocative music back to life at the
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The performance will also include soprano Janai
Brugger, whose recent appearances include her Metropolitan Opera debut as Liu in
Turandot and Musetta in La Bohème with LA Opera. Ms. Brugger is a former member
of LA Opera’s Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program who in 2012 won three top
awards at Operalia, the international vocal competition founded by Mr.
Domingo.She will be joined by tenor Joshua Guerrero, a first-year member of the
Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program, and by Uruguayan soprano María Antúnez, a
2011 Operalia semi-finalist who will create the title role in LA Opera’s May
2013 world premiere of Dulce Rosa by Lee Holdridge. Portions of the concert will
be conducted by Spanish conductor Jordi Bernàcer. Tickets start at $19! Purchase
tickets online or call the Box Office at 213.972.8001. (Open Monday - Saturday,
