The year 2025 marks many significant musical milestones (including our 30th anniversary.) Bizet's Carmen is one of the most popular operas ever written. This spurred our Music Director to search out other notable anniversaries, and they're fun! J.S. Bach was flourishing during his illustrious tenure in Leipzig (1725), Smetana led us through the picturesque Czech countryside with his Moldau (1875), and some of the most popular rock songs of all time were released in 1975!
2 performances:
- Saturday, April 5, 7pm at Civic Arts Plaza Theatres in Thousand Oaks

About Evan K. Brown
Hailed for his "unfailingly vigorous" tenor voice, Evan, a native of Texas, has been rapidly gaining prominence in the opera world. Commencing his career in humble roles at Austin Opera, such as Amelia's servant in Un Ballo in Maschera, Ed Mavole in Kevin Puts's The Manchurian Candidate, and the Notary in La Fille du Regiment, Evan has since evolved into tackling more demanding lead roles.
