Opera last November with “Roméo et Juliette,” Times classical music critic Mark Swed called it “a coup for the company.”

Swed also wondered if it was a “signal that he is a candidate to succeed Music Director James Conlon, who steps down in 2026?”

Times classical music critic Mark Swed and former Times staff writer Daryl H. Miller contributed to this report.

When a Times reporter mentioned that his mom was coming out to visit L.A. for the holidays, and that she was curious to sample the wares at his Inglewood weed store SWED, Snoop’s eyes lit up.

When the show premiered at an experimental art space in Atwater Village, Times Classical Music Critic Mark Swed wrote: “LeBaron’s opera is the first project of an industrious, and potentially groundbreaking, new enterprise called The Industry that was founded by Yuval Sharon, a young director with his fingers in many of L.A.’s different and distinctive art pies.”
