Pre-performance talks
Pre-Performance Talks for the 2024/25 season
Join us one hour prior to showtime for a pre-show 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.
Before you see Romeo and Juliet at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, join Dr. Kristi Brown-Montesano in the Eva and Marc Stern Grand Hall, or listen to the recorded talk here. Dr. Ross Mitchell will present the pre-performance talks on November 14 and 17.
Want to hear more from Maestro Conlon? Visit James Conlon's Corner for podcasts, program notes and more. And don't miss guest lecturer Dr. Tiffany Kuo before Ainadamar.
Interested in learning more? Listen to past pre-performance talks via our Behind the Curtain Podcasts and YouTube channel.
