The complete cast is assembled for the upcoming Los Angeles Opera engagement of The Light in the Piazza, starring Tony-nominated opera star Renée Fleming and Disney Channel favorite Dove Cameron. Performances will run October 12–20 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion.

The two will play Margaret and Clara Johnson, the mother-daughter pair whose lives are changed by a vacation in Italy. They reprise their performances from the staging's premiere in London earlier this year; Fleming will go on to reprise her role in Chicago and Australia. Joining them is the previously announced Tony winner Brian Stokes Mitchell, playing Signor Naccarelli.
