DOSS, Orpheus Double NICHOLAS KELLIHER, Hades DAVID PORTILLO, Little Stone/Ensemble MAGGIE FINNEGAN, Big Stone/Ensemble ALEXIS PEART, Loud Stone/Ensemble NEAL FERREIRA, Ensemble JUNHAN CHOI *A Grammy Award winner, Doss has been performing for 35 years, an activity that has taken him to more than 60 international opera houses, including La Scala, Covent Garden, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera Chicago, Berlin Staatsoper, Wiener Staatsoper, Teatro Real Madrid, to name a few, and countless concert halls.

Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los AngelesPhoto by Lisa HirschThe Los Angeles Philharmonic has performances of Wagner's Das Rheingold later this month, and gosh, the cast looks great.
