An audience favorite for over a century, this tale of four young Parisians who dedicate their lives to art and love is guaranteed to touch your heart. Puccini’s lush, romantic score perfectly captures the simple joys and heartbreaking sorrows of the idealistic young. Their camaraderie, conviction, and passions, masterfully conveyed by an iconic score, make La Bohème easy to love—and impossible to forget.

Would you kill for love?

Dive into a world of betrayal, jealousy, and murder, with our reimagined take on Leoncavallo’s classic opera, Pagliacci. Our reinterpretation set in an apocalyptic dreamscape and staged in the round at the Blaisdell Arena, promises a truly distinctive and immersive journey, unlike any other opera we’ve produced before.

Treasured possessions become symbols of home in this Seattle Opera commission written by composer Jack Perla from a libretto by Jessica Murphy Moo and inspired by true stories from our painful history. Set during World War II, this opera explores the lives of two women: a Japanese American forced to leave her home and a German Jewish immigrant preoccupied with those she left behind. An American Dream is accompanied by a four-piece chamber ensemble, and while this opera is a piece of fiction, the story was crafted from interviews with residents of Puget Sound, Washington, who experienced the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.
