The Industry is an independent, artist-driven, multidisciplinary opera company creating experimental productions that expand the definition of opera and new music. Through ambitious interdisciplinary collaborations in new contexts, we produce works that defy boundaries and inspire new audiences for the art form. We see our role in the music community as both providing a platform for large-scale artistic experiments that provoke questions and dialogue, and serving as an incubator for emerging American composers, musical talent, and artists predominantly based in Los Angeles County. The Industry’s mission-driven goal is to make opera for everyone.
Description
The Industry is proud to announce the 2025/26 season of our Listening Parties, a new series featuring artists as they present live and recorded work, discussing their inspirations in different models of opera.
On Wednesday, September 10th at Monk Space, our LAB 2026 Artists - Guillermo E. Brown, Carmina Escobar, and Matana Roberts - join for an evening featuring their past work across multiple artistic disciplines and their plans for presenting new, in-progress works in February 2026.
The artists will speak with The Industry's Tim Griffin on their various inspirations and thoughts on the future of opera as an artform.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be a powerfully evocative evening.
