June 21 – “Oh My Son,” an opera that tells the story of
Jesus of Nazareth through a series of short tableaux,
emphasizing the humanity and emo ons of each character
and reminding us that all of the individuals in the tableaux
are facing deeply human struggles. Though Jesus resigns
himself to God’s will in being crucified, He is overwhelmed
in the face of His Father’s seeming abandonment. Mary,
when tested with the death of her son on the cross, suﬀers
in agony before coming to acceptance. At the foot of the
cross is a grief-stricken sinner, who cries out in despera on
that she cannot help the man who once saved her from a
life of sin. Even Pilate, before he hands Jesus over to the
priests to be crucified, struggles between uncertainty and
belief. “Oh My Son” is the story of a selfless and worldchanging act of love. 7:30 p.m. Walt Disney Concert Hall,
111 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 90012. Tickets
are now on sale for $15, 25, 35, 75, 100 and group rates,
