Established in 1986, LA Opera grew directly out of the artistic momentum sparked by the 1984 Olympic Games. Since then, it has grown to become the fourth largest company in the USA and a leader in artistic innovation while honoring operatic history. LA Opera’s world-class and breathtaking productions embody the diversity, pioneering spirit, and artistic sensibility unique to LA. Whether it’s classic operas from composers like Mozart or Puccini, revivals of rarely-seen traditional gems, or modern and world premiere operas, LA Opera offers a wide range of genres and eras to showcase the best of the art form.
