Is exhibiting in LA at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in collaboration with an opera and an orchestra. Typically opera's put me to sleep, but maybe this will be a good one??? anyone know anything about it??

I worked on that project.
You should check it out, amazing video production using same cameras from the Matrix.
Stunning use of water as well.

I don't know anything about the Disney Hall exhibition but I have seen Bill Viola's works a few times, like his big retro at LACMA a long time ago and I don't care for them -- I think there's more interesting video artists then him.

Will probably be academic and dry.
I've seen a few big shows in the past few years, and I'd say 50/50 chance it will be good. The 'Passions' was pretty bland, but his last show at the Guggenheim was spectacular. I saw him speak a few years back, in a monotone voice about (his)work equally as interesting. I will say this though - it is worth a visit for the production value alone.
