There are five operas scheduled for next season at Seattle Opera, none of which are particularly adventurous.

Bruno Cinquegrani and Carlo Montanaro have debuts on the Seattle podium, in Lucia and Quichotte respectively. As for singers, Greer Grimsley is Kurwenal, William Burden Edgardo, John Relyea Quichotte, and Christine Brandes Queen of the Night.

    Actually, Don Quichotte is kind of a rarity.

    You are right, but very same production was just at San Diego Opera last year.

    Hey, Opera Tattler! You’re quoted in the SO brochure about Don Quixote. Hope you got royalties! 🙂
    It looks like a good production and nice to see something different for Seattle folks. The rest of the season is pretty straightforward, but I think it’s just the economy. I’m looking forward to Barber as well, because my opera newbie self has never seen it. Wish we had Juan Diego! 😉

    Thanks for pointing that out, I did get press tickets for the San Diego Opera performance, so I suppose it makes sense. It is a good production, and I’m sure John Relyea will sing well.
    Barbiere is also always fun, regardless of the singers. Hope you enjoy!
