By David Salazar

Los Angeles Opera has announced that Lina González-Granados has renewed her contract as Resident Conductor and will remain with the organization through 2028.

The conductor was initially appointed to the position back in 2022.

“I’m deeply honored to continue as LA Opera’s Resident Conductor, making music with the extraordinary artists of the orchestra and chorus,” said González-Granados per an official press release. “Our work has never been more important than at this moment. I look with immense pride at all that we have achieved, from interpretations of classic works like Britten’s ‘The Rape of Lucretia’ and Donizetti’s ‘Lucia di Lammermoor,’ to new works like Gabriela Lena Frank’s ‘El último sueño de Frida y Diego,’ the world premiere of Joel Thompson’s ‘Fire and Blue Sky’ and the upcoming company premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s ‘Ainadamar.’ It is a privilege to continue our mission to expand the art form and to reach ever wider audiences.”

González-Granados will lead the company’s upcoming “Coming Home: Angel Blue in Concert” on March 15, followed by a production of “La Bohème” in 2025-26.
