‘Omar,’ the new opera by singer-songwriter Rhiannon Giddens and film composer Michael Abels, gets its West Coast premiere by L.A. Opera.

It’s giant. And also the presence on the stage — very few artists are like that, to me.” Another highlight is a new 70-minute, chamber-sized concert adaptation of Giddens and Abels’ opera. In “Omar’s Journey,” Giddens herself will sing the important role of Julie.“Omar,” a collaboration between Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens and composer Michael Abels, comes to the L.A. Opera.
