Broadway lovers, this one’s for you. Bring your own blanket, pack a picnic, and join us on Saturday, September 27 for West Side Story, broadcast live from the LA Opera stage to the Santa Monica Pier. New York City’s West Side is split between the Jets and the Sharks—but these warring gangs never imagined that two of their own could fall in love. This iconic romance comes to life with a slew of famous songs, including Somewhere, I Feel Pretty, Tonight, and more.

Treat yourself to a free broadcast of Bernstein and Sondheim’s beloved classic, plus community performances and special giveaways—you’ll even get up close and personal with a baby shark courtesy of Heal the Bay Aquarium. Head to LAOpera.org/OperaAtTheBeach to RSVP for an evening of unforgettable music under the stars!
