Pre-Performance Talks FOR THE 2023/24 SEASON

Each season, our pre-show talks are an enormously popular highlight of every performance. You can join us in person before the show, or listen below at anytime.

An hour before each performance, Dr. Tiffany Kuo will guide audiences through key moments and musical highlights of El último sueño de Frida y Diego in Eva and Marc Stern Grand Hall, located on the second floor of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
