Much like Alcina herself, who ensnares hearts and weaves intricate webs of intrigue on her mystical island, Long Beach Opera's behind-the-scenes workshops and previews offer an alluring blend of drama, artistry, and anticipation.

Get ready to be utterly captivated by Tiffany Townsend, whose vocal prowess has earned her praise for "rich voice and interpretive talent" (Bachtrack). As she takes the stage, you'll be transported by her rendition of the renowned arias from George Frideric Handel's groundbreaking score. Handel, known for seamlessly blending Baroque opera seria with his unique melodic and harmonic style, infuses the opera with emotional depth and innovation, elevating its brilliance to new heights.

Yet, there's even more enchantment in store. 

Workshops and previews serve as the crucible of artistic experimentation and innovation, where the stage transforms into a canvas for fresh interpretations, daring staging choices, and audacious artistic leaps. Directors, like the visionary James Darrah, embrace these opportunities to push the boundaries of tradition and breathe new life into timeless classics. As an attendee, you'll find yourself on the threshold of artistic evolution, where the familiar is reimagined with a contemporary spirit.

Beyond the curtain, these events stand as a testament to Long Beach Opera's unwavering commitment to artistic excellence. Their dedication to crafting a new working edition of Handel's ALCINA serves as a shining example of our devotion to delivering performances that transcend the ordinary. It underscores LBO’s unyielding determination to hone every facet of a production, ensuring that when the full spectacle graces the stage, it will be an extraordinary masterpiece resonating deeply with every attendee.
