LA Opera kicks off its 30th Anniversary Season on September 12, 2015, with a double bill (running through October 3, 2015) showcasing the many talents of Plácido Domingo, the company's Eli and Edythe Broad General Director. In Woody Allen's riotous staging of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, Mr. Domingo sings the title role, and Resident Conductor Grant Gershon will conduct. In Franco Zeffirelli's epic production of Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, Mr. Domingo will conduct.

James Conlon, LA Opera's Richard Seaver Music Director, will conduct the next four productions in the 2015/16 season: Jake Heggie's Moby-Dick (October 31-November 28, 2015); Bellini's Norma (November 21-December 13, 2015); Mozart's The Magic Flute (February 13-March 6, 2016); and Puccini's Madame Butterfly (March 12-Apr. 3, 2016).

The mainstage season will conclude with Puccini's La Bohème (May 14-June 12, 2016) starring Nino Machaidze as Mimi. Gustavo Dudamel will conduct the final two performances on June 10 and 12, 2016; tickets for those two performances are currently only available as part of subscription packages.

The 2015/16 season also includes two one-night-only concerts. Tickets for the first, a concert by bass-baritone Erwin Schrott (December 12, 2015) featuring tangos by Astor Piazzolla and Pablo Ziegler, will be available on June 28. Tickets for the second, a gala concert featuring Plácido Domingo and Renée Fleming conducted by James Conlon (March 18, 2016), are currently available only as part of subscription packages.
