An Elektra-fying Halloween Special

Seattle Opera is offering treats, not tricks, this Halloween. For the Friday, October 31, performance of Richard Strauss’s Elektra, operagoers who attend in costume will receive one free ticket with the purchase of one full-priced ticket.

Elektra, a riveting tale of murder, madness, and revenge, is a fitting prelude to any Halloween celebration—and with a running time of only 100 minutes, trick-or-treating and costume parties don’t have to be sacrificed for an evening at the opera.

To receive a free ticket, one ticket must be purchased at full price, and at least one member of the pair must be in costume. The offer is valid for Friday’s performance only, for tickets priced at $43 through $101, which must be purchased at McCaw Hall’s Box Office on October 31.

Additional Halloween specials include a $5 discount on all seasonal wear at the Amusements Gift Shop at McCaw Hall (which will qualify attendees for the ticket discount), and an extra “treat” at the Hall’s Prelude restaurant: one free small plate with the purchase of an entrée.

Tickets are also still available for the final performance of Elektra on Saturday, November 1. For more information, view the production page.
