ASSOCIATION GIVES FREE OPERA TICKETS TO STUDENTS, TEACHERS
The Pacific Lyric Association, formed in 2006 by Dr. Carlos Oliva, is dedicated to making the operatic art form more accessible to the general public through education and affordable ticket prices. Oliva, a native of Madrid, intends to focus primarily on Spanish operas, operettas (zarzuelas) and musicals. The first production by the new non-profit will be a fully staged production of Moreno Torroba’s zarzuela, “Luisa Fernanda.” Four performances will take place at the 1200-seat Ricardo Montelban Theatre in February. Performances will be in Spanish with English supertitles. For schedule, visit www.luisafernanda.org. To inquire about free tickets for students and teachers, e-mail racquel@theatreplanners.com.
