The Perfect American at Long Beach Performing Arts Center

Walt Disney created an empire, not to mention the most magical place on earth, but even these accomplishments couldn't keep his demons at bay. The Perfect American is a fictionalized account of Walt Disney's final days, haunted by mortality, ambition and the fate of his kingdom. The whirlwind opera composed by Philip Glass features appearances by characters like Abraham Lincoln, Andy Warhol and Disney's family, shedding light on the price of a legacy. The Los Angeles Times raved, "this is a great American opera that needs to be seen in L.A. And it is also the only great L.A. opera."
