Countless fans know and love Leonard Bernstein’s landmark work with songs like “America,” “Somewhere” and “I Feel Pretty,” but few have seen it like this! Originally conceived as an opera, "West Side Story" is a tribute to Bernstein’s impact as only we can, with James Conlon leading the brilliant LA Opera Orchestra—not to mention a magnificent cast in top vocal and physical form. Director Francesca Zambello dives into one of the most emblematic works of American theater with this elevated, maximalist take that incorporates the iconic original choreography created by the legendary Jerome Robbins.
New York City’s West Side is split between the Jets and the Sharks—but these warring gangs never imagined that two of their own could fall in love. Tenor Duke Kim is Tony, a former Jet who finds himself falling for Maria (the radiant Gabriella Reyes). But Maria is promised to another, and her brother Bernardo is more than willing to rally his Sharks to keep it that way. The two lovers dream of a happily ever after, but their neighborhood can see tragedy coming a mile away.
