Get a first look at Pasadena Playhouse's production of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus, directed by Tony Award-winner Darko Tresnjak, running now through Sunday, March 15, 2026.

Christopher Koelsch, the Sebastian Paul and Marybelle Musco President and CEO of LA Opera, has announced details for the company's 2026/27 season, which will launch on October 17, 2026.

Pasadena Playhouse has extended its upcoming production of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus even before performances begin! Pasadena Playhouse will present a fifth and final week of performances.  

This is Beth Morrison’s first year as sole curator, producer and presenter of New York’s PROTOTYPE Festival of indie opera/music theatre. She’s also midwife for the birth of Sarah Kirkland Snider’s gorgeously composed HILDEGARD, its centerpiece, which I heard at the Gerald Lynch Theater at John Jay College on January 11. Morrison has proven herself, once again, to be true to her eponymous organization’s seeming marching orders: “I never do anything twice.”

Sarah Kirkland Snider’s first opera, HILDEGARD, continues its rolling world premiere at the PROTOTYPE Festival in New York City. The production follows earlier performances presented by Los Angeles Opera.

The full cast and creative team has been revealed for Pasadena Playhouse's upcoming production of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus, directed by Tony Award-winner Darko Tresnjak.

An intermission-less, two-character, conversational-centric play that focuses on a pair of women's specific immigrant experiences—marked with loneliness, hopes, fears, and puzzlements big and small—Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh's absorbing, touching, and occasionally (thankfully) very funny play explores the emotional tug-of-war between comfortable, familiar cultural traditions left behind and the need to accept, learn, and assimilate to the often confounding realities of their new home environment—a sometimes exciting, but sometimes heartbreaking concept that many first-generation immigrants know all too well. Continues at South Coast Repertory through November 16, 2025.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival announced select casing and creative teams for its 2026 season's productions, including A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, COME FROM AWAY, and more.
