Finale! Act 1 — A Night of Operatic Fireworks at 705 Venice Blvd. – Los Angeles, CA

The Pacific Resident Theatre welcomes the Los Angeles Metropolitan Opera for an electrifying evening celebrating one of opera’s most thrilling traditions: the great Act I Finales.

These high‑voltage scenes—where passions erupt, alliances fracture, lovers collide, and entire worlds tilt—will be brought to life by a powerhouse ensemble of singers in a concert of rare intensity and theatrical sweep. Audiences will experience the dramatic brilliance of Bellini, Bizet, Mozart, Puccini, and Rossini, each composer unleashing their signature blend of melody, momentum, and emotional heat.

And because the company simply couldn’t resist, the program expands beyond Act I: the night will also feature a blazing Act II Finale and culminate in a triumphant Grand Finale that brings the full cast together in a whirlwind of vocal fireworks.

This one‑night‑only performance promises soaring voices, riveting drama, and the kind of musical storytelling that reminds us why opera endures as one of the great theatrical arts.

Check-in will begin at 6:30 PM in our main space (703 Venice Blvd), where you can enjoy concessions and use the restrooms before the performance.
