The original The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). Evil and deceit lie just below the surface when Lana Turner and John Garfield collide, generating some serious heat as Frank, a drifter, and Cora, a sexy diner waitress who is married to a much older man, played by Cecil Kellaway. Cora has big plans for the diner which her husband owns and for Frank, too, but first she needs to make her unsuspecting husband disappear…with Frank’s help.

When last did you dream big – really reach for the stars? Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’ – as its name suggests – is a colossal, forward-looking work, one that sagely prefigures the scope and emotional depth of Beethoven’s music and other early Romantic works. Containing both gravity and joy, it stretches the bounds of the classical symphonic form. To what other heights, we wonder, might Mozart have taken us had he lived beyond his 36 years? Joshua Weilerstein, just 27, already has three seasons as assistant conductor with the New York Philharmonic under his belt. He opens the program with Joseph Hallman’s...

It’s human nature to cling to the familiar, but change is inevitable, and artists often point the way forward. Long before Bob Dylan gave voice to the Sixties with his ‘For the times they are a-changin,’ Haydn, who continually reinvented himself, named his 64th Symphony ‘Times Change.’ Mozart poured grief over his mother’s death into the beautifully crafted Flute Concerto, while Prokofiev drew inspiration for his athletic Violin Concerto from his gradual repatriation back to Moscow. Principal flute David Shostac celebrates 40 seasons at LACO performing Mozart and Joseph Swensen returns to solo in Prokofiev. LACO composer-in-residence Andrew Norman describes...
