Resonant

Zorro comes home when POP presents the Los Angeles premiere of Héctor Armienta’s acclaimed new opera, filled with romance, humor, and suspense. Set in the early 1800s in el pueblo de Los Angeles, still a colony of Spain, this thrilling new work follows the adventures of the Spanish nobleman who hides his true identity behind a black mask to become Zorro, the dashing defender of the poor and enslaved. With a lush score influenced by mariachi, flamenco, and corrido music, Zorro leaps into dashing sword fights and passionate romance while battling tyranny and corruption and defending California’s disenfranchised and indigenous peoples. Presented in English and Spanish with projected supertitles, fully staged with orchestra, costumes, sets, and operatic talent from across the country. Runtime is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, with one intermission.

Resonant presents Sacred and Profane - a varied program of unaccompanied choral music that explores the human experience from love to pain and from chapel to the great outdoors. Each new song has a paired counterpart. For example, we pair Afternoon on a Hill, by living composer Colin Britt, with Rheinberger's Abendlied. Both evoke a wonderment for nature and our heartfelt connection with it. Other composer pairings include Thomas Weelkes and Diana Woolner, Elaine Hagenberg and Jacob Handl, Pablo Casals and R. Nathaniel Dett. Join us for some of our favorite music!
