Saturday, September 22, 6pm | Live on KUSC

Duff Murphy hosts a live broadcast of LA Opera’s season-opener from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion featuring Verdi’s beloved Don Carlo. Plácido Domingo and James Conlon join forces for a spectacular Verdi masterpiece. With rich orchestrations, thundering choruses and an endless flow of rapturous melodies, one of Verdi’s grandest and greatest works is an enthralling tale of morality and mortality. After losing his fiancée to his father, the king of Spain, the broken-hearted Don Carlo realigns his sympathies and turns against the Spanish Inquisition, knowing full well that his vow to fight for liberty might ultimately cost him his life. As Don Carlo, superstar Ramón Vargas returns to Los Angeles for the first time in nearly two decades, with Plácido Domingo as his heroic best friend.

Season's Greetings!🎄

which one?

Just anything new--it could have been something commissioned for the opening, even.

If you're asking just for recent or modern operas that I like a lot, for one, I'm a big fan of operas by the minimalists (Nixon in China, Doctor Atomic, Satyagraha, Einstein on the Beach, The Cave, etc.). Also, there's stuff like Stockhausen's Sonntag aus Licht, Andriessen's La Commedia, Tan Dun's The Peony Pavilion, Hoiby's The Tempest, Beeson's Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines, etc. There are tons of great ones to choose from. But something brand new would have been cool, too.

I play every song with a funky break.
