“LA Opera postponed the premiere of JONAH and the WHALE scheduled March 16 and 17 at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels until 2014. The librettist is Velina Hasu Houston. Ms. Houston describes herself as Japanese, Blackfoot Pikuni Native American Indian, and African American heritage with historical ties to India, Cuba, and China. See http://www.velinahasuhouston.com/”
