Johanna Dordrick (née Elizabeth Patricia Robinson) was born in Thomasville, Georgia in the midst of the 20th century. She
discovered she loved singing at an early age and has pursued that path ever since. Her career has taken various forms, mostly
based around performance, music, and singing with the Los Angeles Opera Theater (LAOT).
The collection consists of the personal donations of Johanna Dordick relating to the Los Angeles Opera Theater (originally
named the Los Angeles Repertory Theater). Dordick founded Los Angeles Opera Theater in 1979 and served as the artistic director
until her resignation in 1985. Los Angeles Opera Theater dissolved later that year.
