LA Opera is honoring and showcasing the invaluable contributions of Black artists and individuals to the opera world all February long. And while we look around at all the doers and shakers in classical music, we’re taking a moment to spotlight some of our own staff who keep the opera wheels turning right here in Los Angeles.  

Shawnet Sweets | First Assistant Treasurer, Box Office

If you’ve given us a call in the last 35 years, chances are you’ve had the pleasure of speaking to Shawnet Sweets. Aside from being a bubbly beam of light around the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Shawnet is our First Assistant Treasurer in the box office (and one of our most longstanding employees).  Since we have the absolute pleasure of working with and knowing Shawnet, it’s only fair that you all do too.

We are proud to be hosting our FOURTH Free Food Drive-Thru Giveaway at the Hollywood Bowl in partnership with Los Angeles County Supervisor Shelia Kuehl’s office, the LA Regional Food Bank, and the LA Library.

The event will take place on Friday, February 5th from 9am to noon, in parking Lot B and will be drive-thru distribution only. Volunteers will be on-site to deliver food packages to people in their cars.

If you are connected with any social service organizations or individuals able to reach people in need, please feel free to forward the flyer.  We will also be forwarding this to our YOLA families.

Thank you and if you have questions, please let me know. Special thanks again to the Bowl Operations team who help coordinate these!
