LA Opera's 2015 Production of "The Ghosts of Versailles" Wins Grammy

The Los Angeles Opera's 2015 production of "The Ghosts of Versailles" has made history by winning a Grammy for Best Opera Recording. This prestigious award recognises the exceptional quality of the opera recording, which was engineered to perfection by Mark Donahue, Fred Vogler, and David L Williams, who won the Grammy for Engineered Classical Album.

At the heart of this successful production were the performances of a talented ensemble. James Conlon, the conductor, led the team, while principal vocalists Joshua Guerrero, Christopher Maltman, Lucas Meachem, Patricia Racette, Lucy Schaufer, and Guanqun Yu brought the characters to life.

The Grammy win was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team, but unfortunately, the Los Angeles Times article about the win did not delve deeper into the creative process behind the production or offer interviews with the cast and crew.

The article did not reveal any new awards or recognitions for the Grammy-winning production, nor did it provide details about any changes or updates to the production of "The Ghosts of Versailles". It also did not offer a review or critique of the production, nor did it discuss any challenges faced or overcome during the production.

Despite the lack of insider information, the Grammy win is a significant achievement for the LA Opera and a testament to their commitment to producing high-quality opera. The success of "The Ghosts of Versailles" serves as a reminder of the power of music and the arts to captivate and inspire audiences.
