LA Opera Orchestra

The LA Opera Orchestra is generously underwritten by Terri and Jerry Kohl.

The orchestra has a core roster of 61 players, augmented for each production according to the demands of the music. Players in the company’s resident ensemble also fill principal positions in other Southern California symphony orchestras and chamber groups, and they record in Hollywood film, television and recording sessions.

These exceptional musicians provide artistic continuity from production to production and contribute greatly to the high level of LA Opera’s artistry.
