The 2006-2007 Season offers numerable operatic treats, including new Music Director James Conlon’s Company debut conducting Renée Fleming, Rolando Villazón and Renata Bruson in La Traviata; a new Ian Judge production of Don Carlo, with Maestro Conlon leading an all-star cast including Salvatore Licitra, Dolora Zajick and Ferruccio Furlanetto; a dazzling new production of Manon starring Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon, and directed and choreographed by Vincent Paterson; an exciting new holiday production of Hansel and Gretel, directed and designed by Douglas Fitch; Monteverdi’s decadent L’Incoronazione di Poppea with early music specialist Harry Bicket conducting a thrilling cast headed by Susan Graham, Frederican von Stade, David Daniels and Kurt Streit; the Company debuts of Broadway legends Audra McDonald and Patti LuPone in a new John Doyle production of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny conducted by James Conlon; the Company premiere of Tannhäuser conducted by Maestro Conlon; Gershwin’s beloved Porgy and Bess with an exciting double cast led by Kevin Short and Alfred Walker; Lehár’s romantic The Merry Widow, starring Susan Graham and Rod Gilfry; and the charming zarzuela Luisa Fernanda. This season also includes two special recitals featuring the artistry of Deborah Voigt and Angela Gheorghiu. And many new exciting opportunities await us now that Los Angeles Opera has become the principal performing arts organization of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

In September 2000, I announced my bold future plans for our organization. At that time, I made a commitment to promising Los Angeles Opera audiences outstanding singing, great conducting, and stunning productions. I promise you that this commitment will be carried through with flawless finesse! It is an exciting time to be part of Los Angeles Opera; the coming seasons offer ambitious co-productions, inventive programming, and large-scale projects---the likes of which have never before graced our stage.

Please join me in sharing the magical world of opera!
