The Stranger: If you live in Seattle and you’ve never been to the Seattle Opera, you’ve been wasting a precious and delicious resource, and it’s time for this to stop.
In addition to the fact that classical music is scientifically super good for you, like both in your brain and your body, there’s also the fact that Seattle Opera has a rep among the other world-class opera companies for being… kinda wacky. Unconventional, let’s say.

The Seattle Opera sounds so fun from the article’s description. I appreciate the operas and theatres that can be more laid back in terms of exclusivity and prices. The article says the alternative and “quirky” energy of the Seattle Opera enables it to produce fresh work and stray away from having to mold to expectations and can experiment more. It’s nice the dress code can be all over the spectrum and that tickets are not uber expensive because those practices can encourage people who are not regular opera goers to experience it without as many barriers in class in the way. I like how the author of the article also goes into the history of Tristan and Isolde and it’s cursed history. The opera in general is intense and this show seems extremely difficult to put on without it’s plagued history. I also appreciate how if one was truly researching if they wanted to go this show that the author details the acts, where to sit, thing to look for, and their opinion on what to expect. A fun guide!
