About this listen

Los Angeles’ own Golda Zahra steps into 2026 with momentum and purpose. After four sold-out concerts in 2025, the soprano — praised by the Los Angeles Times as “the rising star of the opera world” — takes the stage March 8 at Royce Hall for NOWRUZ: LIGHT ALWAYS PREVAILS, presented by Farhang Foundation. She joins the legendary Parissawith the Iranshahr Orchestra in a 40-piece performance honoring the Persian New Year and International Women’s Day — a night centered on renewal, cultural pride, and the belief that light endures. This milestone performance arrives as Golda prepares to release her debut album, GOLDA ZAHRA FREE, produced by Steven Mercurio and recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Beginning March 1, singles and cinematic videos will roll out ahead of the full album release in October 2026. The title reflects artistic independence and emotional clarity — a young soprano defining what her voice represents on a global stage. Her first single, Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro” from Gianni Schicchi, arrives March 13 — her birthday — marking both a personal and artistic rebirth. With disciplined training and a deep connection to her multicultural heritage, Golda Zahra is not simply emerging; she is declaring who she is and where she is headed next.
