AMERICAN PREMIERE

A fictionalized account of Walt Disney’s final days. He is haunted by his own mortality, boundless ambition, and visionary empire. There is more to this icon than simply making dreams come true. With appearances by Abraham Lincoln, Andy Warhol, and Disney’s family, this whirlwind contemporary opera is a poetic and tragic story of the American Dream.

“…a great American opera that needs to be seen in L.A. And it is also the only great L.A. opera.”– Mark Swed, The LA Times.

Two hours including one 15 minute intermission
Sung in English w/ English Supertitles
