Los Angeles Opera postpones its fall slate for an entire year as the pandemic prompts the company to consider outdoor alternatives.
with the cancellations of two May shows, Debussy’s “Pelléas and Mélisande” and a concert performance of Handel’s “Rodelinda.” Prior to that, Du Yun’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Angel’s Bone” was canceled and later streamed online.
The company’s tentative goal for resuming in-person performances at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is the Jan. 30 scheduled opening of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni.”New programming for fall 2020 will be presented digitally, but the company is holding out hope that it can present performances outdoors if that is deemed safe. In the meantime, L.A. Opera’s annual gala will be virtual and will raise money for the L.A. Opera Relief Fund, which is helping artists and staff members affected by the pandemic.
L.A. Opera is in discussions with the American Federation of Musicians and the American Guild of Musical Artists about providing financial support for the more than 300 orchestra musicians and artists under contract for the postponed productions. The artists are paid per production and get no compensation when a show is canceled or postponed.
The company is grappling with the loss of an estimated $9 million in revenue for the 2019-20 fiscal year, and it expects losses for 2020-21 to run $13 million to $22 million. Payroll expenses have been reduced; six full-time administrative employees have been laid off, and the company expects some rolling furloughs for box office staff.
“L.A. Opera remains committed to ensuring that the burden of reductions is shared across the company in order that artists, staff and the institutional infrastructure have the support and resources needed to return to full production when permissible,” company President and Chief Executive Christopher Koelsch said in the announcement Tuesday.
