Spend an evening with a true Broadway legend! Three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone will grace the stage with her first solo show in collaboration with LA Opera. LuPone will perform her personal musical memoir entitled A Life in Notes, on April 20, 2024 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in DTLA.
From the press release:
Music has the power to crystallize a moment in time and evoke eras. In her new concert, the Broadway legend performs an array of songs that do just that—songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America—from a young girl during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.
Conceived and directed by Scott Wittman and written by Jeffrey Richman, Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes features LuPone’s longtime music director Joseph Thalken and string soloist Brad Phillips.
LuPone made her LA Opera debut in 2007 as Leocadia Begbick in Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and returned in 2015 as Samira in The Ghosts of Versailles. The recordings of both productions earned Grammy Awards for Best Opera Recording.
