MISSION
Our Mission is to present full productions of operas, ballets, operettas and musicals in a manner that our local audiences can easily understand and afford, engage new audiences of adults and children, and provide on-the-job training to young vocal and instrumental artists.
WHO WE ARE
Pacific Lyric Association (PLA) is an independent Southern California opera company that present fully-staged operas with orchestra, accessibly priced to the general public. Our programs include Opera Education, Opera Internship Program, and Youth Symphony.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
The signature format of our opera productions include spoken narrative in English before each large scene. These narrative vignettes, performed by a professional actor, are designed to keep the audience engaged without being distracted by super titles. This format has been successful in attracting younger audiences and newcomers.
