EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK
Los Angeles Times photographer Lawrence K. Ho took these amazing shots during a dress rehearsal for "The Fly," the Los Angeles Opera production that is being directed by David Cronenberg, the master of venereal-horror cinema. The opera, conducted by Plácido Domingo, opens this Sunday. Will it create any , um, buzz? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
We'll have the review by Times music critic Mark Swed right here for you on Monday.
Cronenberg isn't the only filmmaker who is moonlighting at the opera. Diane Haithman of The Times has an interesting piece on Cronenberg, Woody Allen and William Friedkin each bringing their camera sensibilities to the stage in Los Angeles.
