Episode Description
Opera is among the most complex and powerful forms of music. It has been an emotionally charged source of entertainment for centuries. With that said, “Why We Are Here” is proud to share with our listeners a few of LA Opera’s finest. LA Opera’s Director of Education, Dr. Stacy Brightman joins us along with Composer Eli Villanueva to discuss the workings of the organization and how opera connects with people from all walks of life. Later on in the show we are graced with the presence of a beautifully gifted young Opera Soprano Star, Summer Hassan. Their inspiration, contributions, and healing wisdom touches the soul much like the passionate music of Opera itself. LA Opera is designed to support the future of opera by discovering and developing the talents of exceptionally gifted young artists to reach heights of international stature. Their resources are used to provide extensive training for young artists as they further develop their skills in main-stage roles and productions.
