Opera Tales Comes To Artesia Library |
|
|
Supervisor Don Knabe
today announced that the highly-acclaimed Opera Tales program will
soon be returning to Fourth District County Libraries. Opera Tales
is a LA Opera program that introduces children and families to the
world of opera at local libraries. Supervisor Knabe established the
partnership between the LA Opera and the County of Los Angeles
Public Library, and provided funding to bring Opera Tales to
libraries in the Fourth District.
This year, Opera Tales celebrates the 150th anniversary of Giacomo
Puccini’s birth. The program highlights opera’s combination of story
and music, and four singers from the LA Opera will sing various
arias and act out key scenes from the stories. The stories to be
read and performed are from the works of Puccini, including The Girl
of the Golden West, Turandot and Gianni Schicchi.
County Libraries in the Fourth District that will host Opera Tales
are:
- Diamond Bar Library –
Monday, April 14 at 7:00 p.m.
- Hacienda Heights Library – Tuesday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m.

Working to Reduce Violence
 Supervisor Knabe and the Hispanic Outreach Taskforce hosted the inaugural Southeast Summit on Youth & Violence. The purpose of this summit was to bring forth a conceptual framework for reducing violence in our communities. This framework will focus on a strategy that encourages cooperative, coordinated efforts among elected officials, law enforcement, educators, community organizations, outreach and intervention workers, health and mental health workers, faith based representatives, businesses, government agencies, and local nonprofits all working toward the common goal of reducing violence levels in neighborhoods and communities. |
