  • Seattle Opera Announces 2021/22 Season— a Return to Live, In-Person Performances
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 11, 2021 Contact: Gabrielle Gainor (206) 295-0998, [email protected] Press images: https://seattleopera.smugmug.com/2122 Password: “press” Seattle Opera announces 2021/22 season— a return to live, in-person performances La bohème Orpheus and Eurydice Blue The Marriage of Figaro Plus a special recital by Lawrence Brownlee McCaw Hall and The Opera Center Subscriptions begin at $240 (BRAVO! Club, senior, and student pricing is also available). Single tickets will go on sale closer to each production. seattleopera.org SEATTLE—After more than a year without live, in-person performances due to COVID-19, Seattle Opera will officially return to the theater this fall with its 2021/22 Season. Offerings include immortal favorites (La bohème, The Marriage of Figaro), historic works with a modern twist (Orpheus and Eurydice), plus an award-winning piece speaking to racial injustice in America (Blue). It will take years for Seattle Opera—and the arts sector as a whole—to recover from the pandemic’s economic impact. Feeling the presence and excitement of live performance again is one way that the healing can begin, said General Director Christina Scheppelmann. “The theater, where music, storytelling, lights, performers, and audiences meet, is a space of magic and impact,” Scheppelmann said. “This past year has been difficult and challenging on so many levels. As we process all that we’ve been through, we can come here to enjoy ourselves. We can rediscover the positive moment and outlook we are seeking. Through opera, we can reconnect with our deepest emotions and our shared humanity.” In addition to mainstage productions, the company will offer a special, one-night- only recital by tenor Lawrence Brownlee (April 29, 2022, at McCaw Hall) with pianist John Keene.

In the first act he invents the wheel; in the second he is elected president of the human race; in the third act he returns from war seeking ways to rebuild society. Sometimes arrogant and power-hungry, he is capable of learning and wisdom. Suited for adult or upper school student. Sabina Fairweather. The maid of the Antrobus family, she serves as an Everywoman character who is often confused by the wild goings-on of the play and (sometimes selfishly) seeks ways to live an ordinary, individually happy life.

A pillar of strength, she is concerned with the well-being of her children above all. Adult. Henry Antrobus. The family’s son.

Gladys Antrobus. An affectionate young girl in Act I, she grows up yet remains positive. Somewhat smaller role than other family members. Upper school or middle school student. Additional roles (use of actors in more than one act will depend on auditions). Announcer (Act I and II; possibly two different roles). TBD whether announcer is on or offstage. Open casting; requires strong speaking voice. Fitzpatrick (Act II and III) The stage manager of the production.
