Our Biggest Season Yet: Celebrate 40 Years of LA Opera

Catch a season of beloved favorites made in LA, for LA

It's finally here: our new 2025/26 Season commemorates 40 years of music, joy, and community. The arts have always served as a space for connection, comfort and reprieve, and as we begin the collective process of healing and rebuilding following last month's fires, LA Opera is privileged to be able to share our gifts with you.

Our 2025/26 Season marks James Conlon's final season as music director, and he has personally curated a lineup of personal favorites to celebrate an incredible 20-year tenure. Expect virtuoso musicians, majestic stagecraft, iconic choreography, dazzling visuals-and of course, incredible singing.

We can't wait to welcome you to our 40th Anniversary Season. Scroll on to see what we have in store and find out how you can join us!
