POP gives a nod to our mascot, Signor Puccini, with a lavish production of La Rondine (“The Swallow”) at Thorne Hall, Occidental College, just in time for Valentine’s Day 2027.

Did you know Puccini wrote a Viennese operetta? Well, that was the plan at least, when he was commissioned to write La Rondine in 1913. After a series of twists and turns (including the outbreak of WWI), what ultimately flowed from the great maestro’s hand was an Italianate score filled with soaring melodies, a glorious act 2 finale, and one of the most famous soprano arias ever written, “Ch’il bel sogno.”

Set amidst the sleek elegance of Art Deco Paris, La Rondine is the story of a beautiful young courtesan who dares to dream of true love with a handsome young man from the country. Think La Traviata, without the coughing.

Opera meets mariachi in Cruzar la cara de la luna (“To Cross the Face of the Moon”), a groundbreaking work that blends soaring classical voices with the vibrant sound of traditional Mexican mariachi. Presented at the historic San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, this emotionally powerful production tells a deeply human story of immigration, family, sacrifice, and love across generations.

Grammy Award–winning Mariachi Los Camperos, one of the world’s most celebrated mariachi groups, delivers an electrifying performance that brings authenticity, warmth, and cultural resonance to the stage. The sound of Mariachi Los Camperos intertwines seamlessly with operatic storytelling, creating an experience that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Sung in Spanish and English, Cruzar la cara de la luna follows a Mexican family separated by borders but bound by memory and music. As past and present collide, the opera explores what is gained, what is lost, and what is carried forward when generations cross cultures in search of a better life.

It’s opera for seasoned fans, first-timers, mariachi lovers, and anyone drawn to powerful storytelling told through music.
