West Coast Notes
The Los Angeles Opera began its 20th year with
a gala performance of a new production of Offenbach's
operetta The Grand Duchess, starring Frederica
von Stade and directed by celebrated film director
Garry Marshall in his operatic debut. Nearly 600
guests enjoyed the black-tie evening – at
the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, then at the Music
Center Plaza for a post-performance gala dinner.
The San Francisco Symphony kicked off its 94th
season with an opening-night gala that also celebrated
the 25th anniversary of Davies Symphony Hall.
The orchestra, led by conductor Michael Tilson
Thomas, was joined by cellist Yo-Yo Ma in a program
of Russian classics.
