The wait has ended, and the productions gracing our stage for our 2025/26 season are now out and ready for everyone to see.

This season is designed to captivate and entertain audiences with a rich variety of operatic styles and stories all while celebrating our history.

Maestro Conlon, who will transition to Conductor Emeritus, has had a tremendous impact on LA Opera and the cultural life of Los Angeles. He will conduct his 500th performance with the incredible LA Opera Orchestra during the first week of the new season.
