GEHRY AND DUDAMEL IN INGLEWOOD

The Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) is getting a new, permanent home in Inglewood, and its architect Frank Gehry will join Gustavo Dudamel, Inglewood mayor James T. Butts, Jr., and CEO Simon Woods this week for the unveiling of the project’s design.

Under the leadership of Dudamel and the L.A. Phil, YOLA provides young people with free, high-quality music education and academic support.

Gehry’s design will transform an existing 17,000 sq. ft. structure at Manchester and La Brea into a purpose-built facility. This project is made possible through a gift from Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen.

DUDAMEL IN PARIS

Los Angeles Philharmonic music and artistic director Gustavo Dudamel will conduct a drastically reworked LA BOHÈME at the Opéra National de Paris through December 21. after which date Manuel López-Gómez picks up the baton. 

Director Claus Guth has set Puccini’s story of Mimi, Rodolfo, Musetta, and Marcello at the end of the twenty-first century, staging a futuristic vision where the action of the drama takes place “as a flashback to a lost time.”*

“The second the curtain opens, you have a fist in your face.” — Charles Guth
