Renée Fleming to Star in L.A. Opera’s The Light in the Piazza

Renée Fleming
After a star turn as Margaret Johnson in The Light in the Piazza in London, Renée Fleming will headline the musical stateside. Daniel Evans’ production, which premieres at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in June, is on the roster for L.A. Opera’s newly announced 2019–2020 season. Performances will run October 12–20.
Dove Cameron, recently Off-Broadway in the musical adaptation of Clueless, is set to play Margaret’s daughter Clara in London; no word yet on casting for the Los Angeles bow of Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas musical aside from Fleming.

Brian Stokes Mitchell just joined the LA cast. I saw this in London and it was beautiful....seeing it here in LA as well
More recent musicals than this have been revived, so if this does well, I hope it ventures to New York!
Seems to be doing a little bit of a world tour. Is it actually selling tickets anywhere? It didn't in London.
I wanted SO much to see this, but I can't make even a brief visit up to L.A. Hope y'all have a wonderful evening!
