About us
Los Angeles is home to many performances and cultural events. I'll plan a night out at a show. Leaning to the edges, not the mainstream. Seasoned aficionados and newbies alike can experience something strange and beautiful. Most events will be Saturday nights. Buy your ticket from a link. I'll choose a place to eat and greet before the show. Music, theatre, and dance including puppets, horror theatre, experimental music, revamped opera, drag cabaret and Shakespearean classics. Take a chance on something new and LIVE.

Donizetti's lost Opera Buffa
Garibadina Society, 4533 N Figueroa, Los Angeles, CA, USPacific Opera Project has made it a habit of finding lost works. many the great comedic operas that have not been presented recently. Donizetti's Il fortunato inganno was only ever staged once. Not once in the United States. The usual suspects are here: a hapless opera company, a disguise, young lovers and their meddling guardians. But the beauty is all Donizetti's brilliant score.
POP has chosen a 60's theme to go with the Garibaldina's setting. Tables ($35-75) will get Italian pasta and wine. It's a whole affair. Ticket link
