Join us for a lively conversation with the leaders of Seattle’s two major “singing stages,” Seattle Opera and The 5th Avenue Theatre, about the role that opera, operetta, and musical theater play in our society. James Robinson, General & Artistic Director of Seattle Opera, and Bill Berry, Executive Director of The 5th, will be joined onstage by Dr. Anne Searcy of the University of Washington School of Music. Together they will explore what these art forms share, what makes them distinct, and what they can learn from each other.
