"Opus," ex, drugs and chamber music, opening in LA in June

Opus - Sex, drugs and chamber music! Talent and temperaments collide in this amusing and compelling behind-the-scenes look at a "high-strung" string quartet. A world-famous ensemble threatens to unravel as it prepares for a high-profile performance at the White House when its most talented member goes missing and a young woman is hired to take his place. Smart, funny, entertaining and insightful - you'll never listen to a string quartet the same way again. In conjunction with the Los Angeles premiere of Opus, The Fountain Theater will present two live concerts by Los Angeles-based string quartets, on Sunday, June 27 and Sunday, July 11.
