LA Opera's Young Artist Celebration

On April 20, 2011, the Occidental College Music Department welcomed LA Opera's Young Artists to Bird Studio for an amazing performance displaying the immense talent of these young artists. The artists--Janai Brugger-Orman (Soprano), Museop Kim (Baritone), Yohan Yi (Bass-Baritone), Matthew Anchel (Bass) and Douglas Sumi (Pianist/Coach)--performed works from Mozart, Gounod, Wagner, Donizetti, Luna and Bellini. The opening performance was a duet of "Bei mannern" from Mozart's Die Zauberflote. The jam-packed hall fell silent as the performers carried the audience through a series of events involving love, heartbreak, family and infidelity. It was a privilege to witness LA's raw talent and the future of opera!
