During a tense period in downtown Los Angeles, with curfews imposed by Mayor Karen Bass due to protests, opera enthusiasts attended performances at the Music Center. Shows like L.A. Opera's 'Rigoletto' and Center Theatre Group's 'Hamlet' went ahead after an exemption was granted for ticket holders to indoor venues. Anticipated protests had led to earlier cancellations, but the relaxed atmosphere on Sunday encouraged many attendees to support the arts, reflecting the public's resilience and dedication to culture even amid conflict.
"I've never seen 'Rigoletto' live and I haven't been to the L.A. Opera even though I've been [in L.A.] since 1987."
