Like certain other opera companies –– ahem, probably all of them, but definitely San Francisco Opera –– Seattle Opera has announced a short, very short, season, consisting of one operetta, two fully staged operas, and concert performances of another opera. I'm cutting a lot of marketing prose from the below. For casting details, see the Seattle Opera web site.

Libretto by W.S. Gilbert
October 18–November 1, 2025
Daphne in Concert
Music by Richard Strauss
Libretto by Joseph Gregor
January 16 & 18, 2026
Fellow Travelers
Music by Gregory Spears
Libretto by Greg Pierce
February 21–March 1, 2026
Carmen
Music by Georges Bizet
Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy
May 2–17, 2026
(Sasha Cooke and J'nai Bridges are splitting the title role. I dunno, neither strikes me as the kind of alluring firebrand you ideally want in this role.)
Patricia Racette will also sing a cabaret evening. The company is offering some classes, in subjects like 21st c. opera and queerness in opera.
