The Los Angeles Opera will soon bring the beauty and healing power of music to City of Hope. Through the Los Angeles Opera’s Education and Community Programs, artists will begin performing at the Duarte campus in December. At their first performance, scheduled for Dec. 18, artists will present holiday songs as well as musical selections from the Great American Songbook.
Future performances will include early evening events so that patients’ and employees’ families, as well as community members, may more easily participate. Memorable works from great operas and more works from the Great American Songbook — tunes from great Broadway and Hollywood musicals ranging from the 1920s to the 1960s — will often be featured.
Scott Lord, Los Angeles Opera board member, was instrumental in developing and supporting this new program, which will feature quarterly performances by opera artists for City of Hope patients, families and employees, said Dan Lacovara, associate vice president of communications.
