​Pacific Lyric Association (PLA) is an independent Southern California opera company created in 2006 by
Dr. Carlos Oliva and Teresa Hughes-Oliva. PLA offers classically-trained singers the opportunity to perform in independent productions accessibly priced to the public.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT THAN OTHER OPERA COMPANIES
The signature format of our opera productions features fully-staged versions of the operas, with spoken narrative in English before and between musical sections.  These narrative vignettes, performed by professional actors, are designed to keep the audience engaged in the musical drama without being distracted by super titles. This format has proved successful in attracting younger or first-time audiences to this universal art form. 

Every Spring, PLA presents our annual fundraiser.  These events offer highlights from opera and light opera selections, accompanied by a delicious dinner and fine wine.

Pacific Lyric Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the State of California. All contributions are tax deductible.
