Presented by Parnassus Society and Soka Performing Arts Center
Scott Dunn, associate conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, leads the Parnassus Chamber Orchestra in an afternoon of beautiful love stories told through some of the most beloved opera music of all time - by Bizet, Catalani, Cilea, Offenbach, Puccini, Verdi and Wagner. Dancers from the Claudia de la Cruz Flamenco Dance Company accompany the singers for added expression of the lyrics and music.
