The USC Thornton Opera and the USC Thornton Symphony presents a double bill of two one-act operas.

Saariaho’s La Passion de Simone is a meditative journey in 15 stations exploring the life-work of French philosopher Simone Weil. The Juniper Tree is based on the Grimm Brothers’ tale of the same name with composers Glass and Moran setting alternating scenes.

This evening of opera theater will transport the audience to other worlds both sublime and grim.
