Through opera, we can reconnect with our deepest emotions and our shared humanity.” We can rediscover the positive moment and outlook we are seeking. As we process all that we’ve been through, we can come here to enjoy ourselves. This past year has been difficult and challenging on so many levels. General Director Christina Scheppelmann: ““The theater, where music, storytelling, lights, performers, and audiences meet, is a space of magic and impact. In addition to the mainstage productions, tenor Lawrence Brownlee will give a recital on 29 April 2022 at McCaw Hall with pianist John Keene.
The lineup includes La bohème, The Marriage of Figaro, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Blue.
Seattle Opera has announced its return to live, in-person performances on 16 October, when it launches its 2021-22 season. Music is a window to the world, and we cannot wait to show that in full force once again.”
“After an extended period of restrictions, we are thrilled to offer an expansive vision of the operatic universe that encompasses a remarkable breadth of stories and operatic styles. “Next season is a reminder of all that live opera can be,” says General Director Christina Scheppelmann. The rest of the season will include a concert version of Saint-Saëns’s Samson and Delilah conducted by Ludovic Morlot and starring soprano J’Nai Bridges, as well as full productions of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love (the Stephen Lawless staging) and Verdi’s La traviata directed by Francesca Zambello. Mary Elizabeth Williams will sing Isolde to Stefan Vinke’s Tristan, and Amber Wagner makes her Seattle Opera debut as Brangäne. Of special note are the world premiere of A Thousand Splendid Suns, an opera by composer Sheila Silver and librettist Stephen Kisakos based on Khaled Hosseini’s novel and the return of Wagner (for the first time since 2016) with Tristan und Isolde staged by Argentinian director Marcelo Lombardero, with conductor Jordan de Souza. Seattle Opera today announced the program for its 2022-23 season.
