LA Opera presents the company premiere of Verdi's masterpiece, Simon Boccanegra, starring the legendary Placido Domingo. Domingo's interpretation of one of the most complex characters in opera is complemented by conductor James Conlon, internationally recognized as a master with Verdi, and rounded out by a top-rate cast. The opera itself is an epic tale of ambition and betrayal spanning two generations. The poignancy of Verdi's score truly shines in the heartwrenching scenes between father and daughter, who exemplify the ideals of familial love and loyalty. Learn More

exceptional quality, high spirits, and somewhat unusual. We would not have thought of the recorder as a virtuoso instrument.Written on Nov 05 2007

Well, I moved my seats back from the second row center right because I thought the sound would be unbalanced, but this turned out to be the wrong move because the lute would have been right in front of us. The sound from it was much softer from where I sat, but in retrospect, it would have been nice to hear that instrument come through louder.Written on Nov 05 2007
The recorder sounds like someone whistling, but tuned perfectly, of course. Ms. Verbruggen is indeed exceptional.

Under the leadership of Nicholas McGegan, its Music Director since 1985, Philharmonia has become "an ensemble for early music as fine as any in the world today" (Los Angeles Times). The Orchestra performs a subscription season in four cities in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is regularly heard on tour in the United States and internationally. In addition to Mr. McGegan, the Orchestra has welcomed eminent guest conductors to its podium including William Christie, Andrew Parrott, Jordi Savall, Gustav Leonhardt, Monica Huggett and Stanley Ritchie.
