Opera Tales Comes To Hermosa 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.
- Hermosa Beach Library – Friday, April 18 at 3:00 p.m.
- Lomita Library – Tuesday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m.
- Artesia Library – Thursday, April 24 at 3:00 p.m.
- La Mirada Library – Saturday, April 26 at 2:00 p.m.

For information on library locations or future programs, please call

Hermosa Beach Accomplishments

2007

 

Synchronizing Traffic in the South Bay
A new Traffic Signal Synchronization Project has been completed in the cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes and Long Beach. The $933,524 project focused on coordinating the timing of signals along three major streets in the South Bay. Over 100 total intersections were synchronized on the following three roads: Artesia Boulevard from Sepulveda Boulevard to Vermont Avenue, Carson Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Santa Fe Avenue, and Western Avenue from 111th Street to Summerland Avenue.
 

New Funding for Park Projects

Supervisor Knabe dedicated $1.7 million in Proposition A Park funds to be used for various projects across the Fourth District. In Hermosa Beach, a portion of the money will be used for the renovation of approximately 1,800 square feet of existing space including upgraded electrical panels, a commercial kitchen, lighting, counters and cabinetry at the Hermosa Senior Activity Center.

Keeping Trash Out of the Bay
A project to install 460 trash catch basins in the cities of Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood has been approved by the Board of Supervisors.
