Left to right, Tamara Mumford, as Martha, Nathan Medley, narrator, Kelly O'Connor, as Mary, Brian Cummings, narrator, Daniel Bubeck, narrator, and Troy Ogilive, a dancer, perform during the premiere of the Peter Sellars' staging of John Adams' "The Gospel According to the Other Mary," one of the LA Phil's most ambitious and notable undertakings, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The large-scale opera/oratorio was commissioned by the orchestra and premiered last year in concert. Since then it has been revised and this will be the first performance of the new version along with that of the full staging. The whole kit and caboodle will then be packed up and taken on tour.
