Seattle Opera

During Seattle Opera's 2022/2023 season, the company witnessed continued growth of in-person attendence at mccaw hall, tagney jones hall, and other venues, especially as people became more comfortable with going out in public. This past season roughly 50,000 total tickets were sold to mainstage performances. Among those tickets, more than 6,600 were new patrons. The season featured five mainstage productions, among them all-time favorites like "the elixir of love and "la traviata". And the world premiere of the operatic adaptation of the bestselling novel "a thousand splendid suns" was a season high point, a production that garnered national and international attention.

Seattle Opera's commitment to community engagement and education expanded throughout the 2022/2023 season. Through new and longstanding partnerships with civic and arts organizations, schools and community centers, and dozens of local institutions we strive to make living in Washington state healthier, smarter, more peaceful and more enjoyable. Nearly 700 people attended our annual open house. What's more, our school program visited 58 schools and community centers and reached more than 13,000 k-12 students.
