The Lighthouse March 21, 22, 28, & 29 at the Aquarium of the Pacific

This haunting opera is an atmospheric combination of detective mystery and ghost story, mixing courtroom testimony with fantastical flashbacks. Three officers from a lighthouse vessel report to a Court of Enquiry how they arrived to relieve three lighthouse keepers and find the place deserted. The officers’ nervously pass the time by singing songs. But out of the fog, their past emerges to taunt them. All performances of The Lighthouse are at the Aquarium’s new cutting-edge, high-definition technology space with a breathtaking 32-foot-tall 180-degree arc projection wall.

Dream Variation

The final UnGala of the season. You won't want to miss this!

This Black History Month, join us for a celebration of works by composers of African descent throughout history and some of opera's most exciting Black artists of today. The musical feast will be accompanied by equally delicious pairings of upscale comfort foods and fine wines. We will explore the expression of the Black experience from musicians in other centuries compared with those of today by pairing classical pieces with poetry, hip-hop, and soul selections from this century that reflect similar themes and emotional content. This will be a one-of-a-kind showcase of wonderful talent and rich history that is not to be missed!
