Young Artists in Performance Fall Tour

From the minute they walk in the door, our Young Artists are honing their craft into a performance piece. Every fall, director Peter Kazaras stages a short opera with piano accompaniment that tours to the most beautiful theatres in Washington. In 2006, Peter Brook’s The Tragedy of Carmen thrilled audiences with its dark and gritty variation on Bizet’s beloved opera. Find out what is in store this fall by visiting our calendar here.

School Performances

We make opera irresistible to young people by staging lively 1-act operas to present in local high schools, such as Pergolesi’s The Maid Becomes the Mrs! (La serva Padrona) performed in 2006.

Public Recitals

Young Artists are often featured at special previews, donor events, Bravo! Club parties, and even at partner organizations, such as the Seattle Philharmonic, Music of Remembrance, and the Yakima Symphony Orchestra, to name a few. Upcoming events are found on our calendar of events.

Fully Produced Spring Opera

No amount of training can replace the experience of singing from the stage, over an orchestra, in a professionally produced opera. Under the direction of Peter Kazaras and the skilled hands of the Seattle Opera mainstage production teams, our Young Artists blow audiences away each year in the intimate 400-seat Meydenbauer theatre in Bellevue, Washington. Ambitious programming and impeccably high standards are the hallmarks of our spring productions.
