"the arts give life meaning under the most dreadful of circumstances."
– Herbert Zipper, stalwart Viennese conductor who formed a secret orchestra in a Nazi concentration camp and later took concerts to America's inner-city schools.
THE COLBURN SCHOOL, Zipper Hall, yesterday's setting for two Operas, THE SECRET KINGDOM, by Ernst Krenek, and THE EMPEROR OF ATLANTIS, by Viktor Ullmann with The Colburn Orchestra and The Domingo-Thornton Young Artists of LA Opera conducted by James Conlon. The voices, the orchestra, conductor, costumes and venue, all brilliant.
We have a treasure in downtown Los Angeles.
