In a move that will bolster its growing opera credentials, the Los Angeles Philharmonic is teaming up with Yuval Sharon, the artistic director of the Industry, the L.A.-based experimental opera company, for a three-year residency to begin in the 2016-17 season.
The L.A. Philharmonic said on Wednesday that Sharon will be named as the orchestra's artist-collaborator, a newly created post that will involve curating projects for the orchestra, with the assistance of the Industry. The projects are expected to embrace multiple artistic genres and will take place at Walt Disney Concert Hall as well as other venues around L.
