By Francisco SalazarLA Opera on Now continues its weekly series with some new programming.
This week Craig Colclough performs a recital on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 4 p.m. PT. A frequent performer with LA Opera, the bass-baritone was set to sing the role of Figaro earlier this year and will return as Amonasro in “Aida.”
