Numi Opera is a Los Angeles-based opera company. Conceived by Founding Director Gail Gordon, Numi Opera is a company inspired by her desire to stage works like the company’s debut productions, Alexander Von Zemlinky’s Der Zwerg, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Die Tote Stadt. These works not only share a connection to Los Angeles but also share the fate of having been suppressed and banned by the Nazi regime due to the Jewish heritage of the composers. Gordon, the child of Jewish immigrants, feels deeply that the neglect of works of art such as these due to Nazi suppression over the greater portion of a century must be rectified in order to heal a portion of the many injustices perpetrated on the underrepresented and oppressed throughout music history.
