L.A. Opera cancels 'Pelléas and Mélisande' and 'Rodelinda' but is still selling tickets for 'The Marriage of Figaro' in early June.
Los Angeles Opera on Friday canceled two productions originally scheduled for May, while Long Beach Opera has called off the rest of its 2019-20 season.
The L.A. Opera announcement dovetailed with news that Los Angeles County’s safer-at-home order has been. Shows affected by the extended closure of the county Music Center’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion are Debussy’s “Pelléas and Mélisande,” which was scheduled to run May 2-23, and a concert performance of Handel’s “Rodelinda” that was on the calendar for May 8.
“With great regret, we had no option but to cancel these productions,” L.A. Opera President and Chief Executive Christopher Koelsch said in the announcement. “At this time, our collective top priority must be to do whatever we can to protect the health and safety of our audiences, our artists and our community. We are eager to take the stage again, just as soon as we are able, so that we can all experience the wonder and magic of opera together.
The company had previously canceled performances of “Angel’s Bone” May 1-3. L.A. Opera continues to sell tickets for “The Marriage of Figaro” starting June 6.Long Beach Opera wrote in its statement that hopes of postponing its season until summer became unrealistic.
