NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Opera has scrapped plans for the world premiere of Mason Bates' “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay” this fall because of finances.
The work will instead open with a student cast at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music.
Cremo sent an email last month to Abra K. Bush, dean of the Jacobs School, suggesting the shift.
Bates, 47, won a Grammy Award in 2019 for “The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs,” which premiered at the Santa Fe Opera in 2017 and was coproduced with the Jacobs School.
“It's a story about Jewish immigrants changing American culture and certainly that resonates in LA,” Bates said.
