BRAVO! Club Membership Benefits
Discounted Tickets
BRAVO! Club members can receive as much as a 50% discount on two subscriptions or two single tickets for every opera in the season (see BRAVO! Discount Plan). Offer is good for BRAVO! Nights Only. This is the best discount Seattle Opera offers to anyone, period. Not applicable to Ring tickets.
Complimentary Intermission Receptions
Free admission for BRAVO! members and their guests on the B (Wednesday Night), E (Friday Night) and G (Saturday Night) Series performance nights in the private Norcliffe Room located on the First Tier Lobby. These BRAVO! receptions are a great opportunity to mingle with other members and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or cup of coffee. The receptions are held during intermission(s) only.
Exclusive Invitations
Club members receive invitations to special events throughout the season. Past events include parties at the Olympic Sculpture Park and the Museum of Flight, private lectures by Seattle Opera General Director Speight Jenkins, backstage and scene shop tours, private Young Artist recitals at Columbia Tower Club, and our annual Winter Ball and Auction at El Gaucho and The Ruins – just to name a few! We produce more than 25 events per season, most of which are free to members. BRAVO! Gold members may bring one guest for free (or at reduced member rates). Entrance fees are required for all other guests.
FREE Overtures to the Opera
Free admission for BRAVO! members and one guest each to Seattle Opera’s pre-performance talks (a $14 value per opera). The more you know about the opera you’re going to see, the more you’ll enjoy it, so join a member of the Seattle Opera Education Department for these witty, informative, and even hilarious lectures 90 minutes before each performance. Lectures last about 45 minutes and take place in the Nesholm Family Lecture Hall at McCaw Hall.
FREE Subscription to Seattle Opera Magazine

Become a BRAVO! Gold Member – it’s worth it!
At all BRAVO! Club special events where members come for free, Gold Members can bring a guest for free. If you plan to bring friends or your significant other to any events, this is for you! It's $110 (only $45 more than a regular membership). Most of the time, guests fees at the door are $10 so a Gold Membership quickly pays for itself.
