Responding to popular demand, Santa Monica College, along with partner Los Angeles Opera, will reprise the Opera Camp production of “Brundibár,” the historic opera that was performed by Jewish children in Czechoslovakia’s Terenzín concentration camp during World War II.
“Brundibár,” a special children’s opera performed by young people ages nine to 17, will be presented not only at SMC’s Madison campus, but also at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, as part of the Grand Avenue Festival in downtown Los Angeles, and at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.
Performances, which all are free, will be held at noon and 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 15 at SMC’s Madison campus at Santa Monica Boulevard and 11th Street; at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, 135 N. Grand Ave., Los Angeles; and at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 18 at The Museum of Tolerance, 1399 S. Roxbury Dr., Los Angeles. This is the fourth season that The Madison Project of Santa Monica College has partnered with Los Angeles Opera to train a broad cross-section of young people from throughout the Los Angeles area in voice and performance.
