Seattle Opera presents 'An American Dream' (world premiere)
$50-$125
PROVOCATIVE DRAMA WITH LOCAL CONNECTIONS. Treasured possessions become symbols of home in a Seattle Opera commission, part of the Belonging(s) project, inspired by true stories from our region’s history.
This world premiere opera set during World War II explores the lives of two Puget Sound women: a Japanese American facing internment and a German Jewish immigrant preoccupied by those she left behind. Their struggles to maintain a sense of place in our region are given added resonance through moderated audience discussions bookending the opera.
Two performances only – seating is extremely limited for this special world premiere event. Available as single tickets or as an add-on to your subscription. Prime Orchestra $125; Orchestra $80; Prime Gallery Upper $80; Gallery $50.
By Jack Perla. Libretto by Jessica Murphy Moo. In English with English subtitles.
