Camerata Pacifica is set to present Schoenberg’s “Pierrot Lunaire” starting on Feb. 7, 2025.

The production, which will run through Feb. 13, will be featured at four different venues. On Feb. 7, audiences will see the work at the Music Academy in Santa Barbera. The Feb. 9 showcase takes place at the Janet and Ray Scherr Forum at Thousand Oaks and the the ensuing one on Feb. 11 will take the stage of San Marino’s The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall. Closing out the run is the Feb. 13 showcase at Zipper Hall in Downtown Los Angeles.

Headlining the performance is soprano Sarah Maria Sun, who, per her website, has a repertory of over 2,000 compositions from the 16th through 21st century. Along the way, the soprano has performed in 400 world premieres and has taken the stage of opera houses in Zurich, Basel, Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Leipzig, Strasbourg, Luxembourg, Zagreb, and the Opéra Bastille and the Opéra Comique in Paris .

“From its cabaret roots immersed in the occultism and numerology of the turn of the century Vienna, Schoenberg’s ‘Pierrot Luminaire’ is fantastic, beguiling, melodramatic, grotesque, humorous, and utterly amazing. To emphasize the work’s dramatic nature, each of the 21 poems will feature lighting designs and stage movement by the artists to support the musical expression,” Camerata Pacifica Executive Director Adrian Spence said per an official press release.

The program also includes works by Debussy, Lara Morciano, Gershwin, and Weill.
