Passion, Comedy, and Fantasy Await…
Experience the gamut of human expression with the three most
popular operas from Seattle Opera’s stimulating 2010/11 season.
October marks the return of the thrilling Italian masterpiece Lucia
di Lammermoor, a magnificently moody romantic tragedy. The
unbridled hilarity of The Barber of Seville will chase away your
winter blues and leave you humming for more. And spring brings
The Magic Flute, a glorious fairytale that shines brightly with
Mozart’s genius. All presented to you with the high-caliber artistry,
stagecraft and musicianship that make Seattle Opera the ultimate
live entertainment experience.

Romantic Tragedy of

A wicked Scottish nobleman drives his sister to madness and

The Funniest Comic Oper a

“Fi-ga-ro!” Rossini’s delightful romp kicks off with an instantly
recognizable overture, gains speed with a non-stop parade of
hit tunes, plows through a series of pranks fit for a Bugs Bunny

over with joy. Not to be missed.

in this poignant adaptation from French Romantic
master Jules Massenet. The daydreaming Don charms

promises a novel blend of humor and pathos—much
like the old knight himself.
