Orpheus at Verdugo (the first 18 minutes -- I am not sure why the remaining twenty four minutes did not record, but the performance was entirely amazing from start to finish) Neither I nor LAUSD own any of the rights to the music, lyrics, choreography, nor any other element of this piece). Thank you to LA Opera Connects for generously providing everything we needed to make this possible.
