Seattle Opera Performs New Opera AMELIA, 5/8-5/22
Seattle Opera's 2009/10 season comes to a conclusion this spring with the world premiere of AMELIA, an original American story that explores our fascination with flight and the powerful bonds between parent and child. Performances at McCaw Hall run from May 8 through 22, 2010.
An expectant mother connects to her past to make possible the future in this lyrical 2-hour opera unfolding over a 30-year period beginning in 1966. Performed in English, Amelia interweaves one woman's emotional journey, the American experience in Vietnam and elements of the Icarus myth to explore the dilemmas that arise when vehicles of flight are used for exploration, adventure, and war. Don't miss the world premiere of this intensely personal "dream of flight" embracing the creative force of love and family.
Tickets start at $25. To purchase, call 206-389-7676 or 800-426-1619.
