Los Angeles Opera is supporting contemporary opera through its 110-project, a one-act opera that has asked a number of local institutions to participate in gathering freeway stories from the community.
The result will be presented in a workshop style with music by Laura Karpman and libretto by Velina Hasu Houston and Shishir Kurup at the Pacific Asian Museum, Pasadena at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, June 28. All three involved in the project are professionals in music and theater. Karpman is a four-time Emmy winner, film composer, on the faculty of the UCLA School of Film and Television. Houston is a writer and Kurup is an actor,
both with a string of film, television and stage credentials. The audience will be invited to provide feedback to the artists following the performance.
