2021 Season

PIERROT LUNAIRE / VOICES FROM THE KILLING JAR

August 14 & 15, 2021
The Ford
Los Angeles, CA

Why are women in opera so often depicted as prostitutes, sacrificial victims, or both? Women reframed their own operatic portrayal in this double bill that paired the most radical monodrama of the last century with one by this century’s most exciting new voices. This double bill production, co-produced with the LA Phil, was an evening of powerful art-making with some of the region’s greatest creators and organizations.


The company debut of Jenny Wong was partially supported by OPERA America’s Opera Grants for Women Stage Directors and Conductors, generously funded by the Marineau Family Foundation.
