For the first installment of the 2019 Ari Project, KCCLA and Los Angeles Opera present “Story of Broadway” on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p.m. on the third floor of the Korean Cultural Center’s Ari Hall.
“Story of Broadway” features selections from “My Fair Lady,” “The King and I,” “West Side Story,” “The Sound of Music,” “Miss Saigon,” “Wicked,” “South Pacific” and more.
Participating artists include Los Angeles Opera soprano Sunjoo Yeo, pianist and tenor Charlie Kim, mezzo soprano Danielle Marcelle Bond, tenor Todd Strange, bass David Castillo, guest singer and soprano Maxine Park, and more.
“In preparation for the ‘Story of Broadway,’ LA Opera focused on popular and familiar Broadway musicals. We’re planning to perform to beautiful and fun Broadway musicals along with explanations so that the audience can easily understand and relate to the songs,” Yeo said. “At this musical concert, professional vocalists will sing as a solo, an ensemble and a chorus. We hope that many people in the audience can fully immerse themselves in the beauty of musical theater.”
The performance is free, but phone or online reservation is required.
KCCLA is located at 5505 Wilshire Blvd. For information and reservations, visit kccla.org, or contact Hannah Cho at hannah@kccla.org or (323)936-3015.
