Pagliacci
When a commedia dell’arte troupe arrives in a small Italian village, they are greeted by cheers of welcome. Comedy turns to tragedy when jealousy rages, lovers are revealed, and the curtain comes down on murder. Set in 1930s Italy, our “visually arresting” (The Independent) production features artful sets and traditional commedia dell’arte costumes.
Jubilee
Set soon after Emancipation and the end of the Civil War, follow the historic Fisk Jubilee Singers on their first tours, raising funds for the fledgling Fisk University and spreading their music around the world. This world premiere opera by renowned writer and director Tazewell Thompson (Blue ’22) features an ensemble of 13 singers performing over 40 spirituals, including “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “Wade in the Water,” and many more.
The Magic Flute
Featuring seamless interaction between onstage performers and eye-popping hand-drawn animated visuals, experience a striking new-to-Seattle production of a beloved audience favorite. Inspired by silent movies, Barrie Kosky’s colorful and energetic production comes to Seattle after receiving standing ovations at opera houses around the world.
Tosca
Giacomo Puccini’s melodrama returns to the McCaw Hall stage in a fan favorite classic production! “Vocally perfect” (Broadway World) soprano Vanessa Goikoetxea (Alcina ’23) and “gleaming soprano” (Opera Warhorses) Lianna Haroutounian (Madame Butterfly ’17) return to McCaw Hall as the fiery prima donna Floria Tosca. As Cavaradossi, “warm, rich tenor” (Bachtrack) Rame Lahaj alternates with “ardent tenor and an impassioned actor” (The Seattle Times) Yonghoon Lee (Samson and Delilah in Concert ’23) who returns to Seattle after his debut last season.
