The Los Angeles Opera has canceled the world premiere of Missy Mazzoli's "Lincoln in the Bardo," an opera adapted from George Saunders' 2017 novel, due to cost-cutting measures. Originally scheduled for February 2026 in LA, the opera will now premiere at New York's Metropolitan Opera in October 2026. This marks the second consecutive season the LA Opera has dropped a world premiere due to rising expenses.
