Behind the Curtain: "Moses" Creators Henry Mollicone & Shishir Kurup

Listen in as Vice President of Education and Community Engagement Stacy Brightman chats with Composer Henry Mollicone and Librettist Shishir Kurup on the creation of LA Opera’s Community Opera: “Moses”.  “Moses” has its world premiere at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Downtown LA on March 22 and 23, 2019.  Henry and Shishir talk with Stacy about how they each first came to opera, the development of this special work (an opera for professionals and community members to perform together?!), and their hopes for the piece.
