Yuval Sharon is the founder and artistic director of Los Angeles’ home for experimental opera, The Industry. In 2014, The Industry worked with composer Christopher Cerrone and choreographer Danielle Agami in an adaptation of Italo Calvino’s novel, “Invisible Cities.” The production took place in LA’s historic Union Station and was a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music.Last year, LA Philharmonic Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel and President and CEO Deborah Borda appointed Sharon as the organization’s Artist-Collaborator. The three-year residency began this season and will continue through the LA Philharmonic’s Centennial, in 2018-19. The appointment aided Sharon in a collaboration with composer Rand Stieger on an ongoing installation for the 2016-17 season, entitled “Nimbus,” at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. German media has tipped him to replace Alvis Hermanis as the director of a 2018 production of “Lohengrin” in Bayreuth as well.
