December 2007 - A Day in LA - Things to do in Los Angeles County

Southern California Art of the 1960s and 70s

December 11th 2007 16:00
Southern California Art



This special exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art looks at both the utopian and dystopian art of southern California in the 1960s and 70s, with echoes into the 1980s and 1990s.

With sleek, elegant works of light and space and "finish fetish" artists on one hand, and gritty, tawdry images of California pop on the other hand, LACMA will take a look at both of these regional strands of art.

La Bohéme

December 5th 2007 04:00
La Bohéme


Set against the festive holiday backdrop of 19th-century Paris on Christmas Eve, the classic opera of La Bohéme by Giacomo Puccini, tells the story of six young bohemians living in Paris starving in the Latin Quarter engage in high jinks, high spirits and high romance.

A chance meeting between the young poet Rodolfo and his neighbor Mimi leads to love while that other bohemian Marcello and his coquettish amour Musetta find that breaking up is hard to do. As the saying goes, the course of true love never did run smooth, and carefree happiness can turn to heartbreak in the twinkling of an eye.

The running time is 2 hours 20 minutes, including one intermission.
