“At a Hollywood Bowl press luncheon earlier this summer, Gustavo the Great announced his plans for his second season in the role as Music Director of the LA Philharmonic. On the top of his list: his modern take on perhaps the world's most popular opera: Bizet's Carmen. So what do we know about tonight's performance? Not much—except that it'll open with Natasha Petrinksy singing the title role, backing from the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, and feature more of the 30 year-old Venezuelan's signature musical genius and gift for surprising audiences.”
