A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...As part of a full slate of performances in Tagney Jones Hall, Lowbrow Opera Collective will present excerpts from their upcoming spring 2026 production of Sally Ride, a new opera by composer Dana Kaufman and librettist Aiden Feltkamp that tells the true story of the first American woman and first queer astronaut to go to space. Lowbrow will also participate in a panel discussion with representatives from Puget Sound Concert Opera, Kitsap Opera, and Vashon Opera on the broader opera landscape across the Puget Sound, considering how the region’s opera companies can support one another. Other performances include a preview of Seattle Opera’s upcoming production of Fellow Travelers and a concert by winners of the Seattle Opera Guild’s annual Singers’ Development Awards.
The lobby of the Opera Center will feature an art exhibition by LGBTQ artists from Path with Art called Queer Visions, which honors the history of LGBTQ resistance and celebrates the power of art to heal and connect. Visitors can also meet with representatives from many of Seattle Opera’s community partners, including theSeattle Symphony, Puget Sound Concert Opera, Kitsap Opera, Vashon Opera, and Early Music Seattle.
Audience members looking to sample more of the upcoming season can view a live feed of a working rehearsal of season opener The Pirates of Penzance, a Q&A session with General and Artistic Director James Robinson and Dramaturg Jonathan Dean, and a singalong of the ever-popular tunes from Carmen.
In between formal events, visitors can tour the Classical KING broadcasting studio and the Seattle Opera Costume Shop and Props Department, where they can try on costumes, work on arts & crafts projects, and even handle a few of the props themselves..."
