On Dec. 14, 2025, LA Opera will present its third annual Celebración de las Artes, a free afternoon festival celebrating Latino culture.

The evening will feature a collaboration between LA Opera Connects and Hispanics for LA Opera and will include a holiday market featuring local vendors, live music and dance, and a curated menu of food and drinks for purchase.

The event, which is free to attend and open to everyone, will take place on Dec. 14 from 4:30pm to 7pm on the Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center.

Featured musical performers will include Boleros With Attitude, LA Opera Connects’ Zarzuela Project, the Cathedral Children’s Chorus and Cathedral Youth Choir, and Mariachi Elapatlán.

In a statement, Mónica Gutiérrez Roper, Chair of Hispanics for LA Opera said, “LA Opera Connects and Hispanics for LA Opera are proud to present Celebración de las Artes, a vibrant gathering designed to honor the power of art, music, and community. The Celebración will feature live performances, interactive art-making stations, and diverse artistry. With Celebración de las Artes, we are extending an invitation: to share in joy, to engage, and to reaffirm our collective strength as a community.”

Christopher Koelsch, President & CEO of LA Opera said, “The Celebración de las Artes embodies what LA Opera strives for every day—creating opportunities for our entire community to come together and celebrate the many ways opera connects with other art forms and cultures. It’s a joyful reminder that opera doesn’t exist apart from our city, but within it—alive in its people, its traditions, and its boundless creativity.”
