A large portion of the orchestra’s repertoire is dedicated to Armenian music, including debut performances of works by many Armenian composers, along with works by various European and Russian composers.

A Hand of Bridge by Samuel Barber and Gallantry by Douglas Moore
2013-11-15 20:00 | St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 1020 N. Brand Blvd. , Glendale, CA, 91202, United States
Chamber Opera Players of LA
Concert includes: • Free admission! (Donations greatly appreciated) • Conductor David Rentz of the Orange County Symphony joining us for the first time • Director Josh Shaw, Artistic Director of Pacific Opera Project, adding his special genius and insight to this fabulous production
GLENDALE, CA-CHAMBER OPERA PLAYERS OF LOS ANGELES will be presenting their second production of two rarely performed operas. Ariel Pisturino, E. Scott Levin, Jessica Mamey, Joseph Michels, Daniel Gledhill, Josh Shaw, and David Rentz collaborate on this project in an effort to enhance the classical music scene in Glendale. These distinguished musicians bring a youthful, modernized outlook to these vintage works.
The evening will begin with A Hand of Bridge by Samuel Barber. This opera, only 9 minutes long, is a highly unexpected and entertaining character study enhanced by jazzy music techniques that give the audience the impression of a jazz combo rather than an opera. We then switch gears for Gallantry by Douglas Moore, running about 35 minutes. Think, “Opera meets General Hospital,” in this wacky spoof that even includes commercials.
Performances take place in the Parish Hall of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 1020 N. Brand Blvd. Glendale, CA 91202. ADMISSION IS FREE. Parking is plentiful in the church lot and on the street. Come early for wine, drinks, and general enjoyment.
