Seattle Opera
The Seattle Symphony is also the orchestra for Seattle Opera, a cultural icon of a major world city that speaks to all communities of, and visitors to, the Puget Sound region.
By drawing our community together and by offering opera’s unique fusion of music and drama, we create life-enhancing experiences that speak deeply to people’s hearts and minds.
Founded in 1963, Seattle Opera is one of the leading opera companies in the United States. The company is recognized internationally for the quality of its productions, supportive and nurturing environment for singers and artists, and is especially known for its productions of the Wagner operas, having created an “international attraction” in its past presentations of Wagner’s epic Ring, according to The New York Times.
The company’s fourth General Director, Christina Scheppelmann, began her tenure on August 1, 2019.
Seattle Opera productions are held in McCaw Hall at Seattle Center.
