An operatic find in L.A.’s backyard
YOU should have mentioned downtown Canoga Park in your two-page coverage of opera at Oberlin College in Ohio; in Austin, Texas; Omaha; and St. Paul, Minn. [“Opera’s New Harvest.” April 1].
I submit that “La Traviata” as presented recently at the jewel-box Madrid Theatre in Canoga Park is exactly what your story was all about.
They played to a packed house, in a small town, with a 20-piece orchestra and amazing performers. It was the kind of night you don’t expect or easily forget.
No one in L.A. has to “take to the skies” to see good opera! I submit the Center Stage Opera Company (www.centerstageopera.org) will more than please today’s “diverse audience.”
