Mozart meets ‘Star Trek’ in an online watch party? Beam us up

In 2016, Pacific Opera Project boldly went where no troupe had gone before with a one-off “Star Trek�-style staging of “The Abduction From the Seraglio,� Mozart’s 18th century musical melodrama that tells the tale of a young hero on a quest to rescue his beloved from a sultan’s harem.

Now, the Los Angeles company is hosting a free watch party for a rebroadcast of this fantastical production, sung in English with a new libretto by artistic director Josh Shaw and recorded under the stars at the Ford amphitheater in Hollywood.

So don your favorite uniform — Federation, Klingon or other — for the costume contest, set your phasers to fun and tune in at 5 p.m. Wednesday at facebook.com/pacificoperaproject.
