Little Deaths: Opera's Sexiest Moments at The Pleasure Chest

Strap in for one of L.A.’s most daring nights of opera. 

Little Deaths reimagines beloved classics—from Monteverdi to Kurt Weill—with cheeky, provocative flair. Performed by a fearless cast in leather and lace, this tantalizing experience blurs the lines between high art and hedonism. Hosted across West Hollywood’s Pleasure Chest and Hind Bar (+ PleasureMed Dispensary!), guests can indulge in gourmet bites, signature drinks, and more.

It’s outrageous. It’s sexy. It’s hilarious. It’s unmissable.
