  
chamber opera northwestIn Memory of CHAMBER OPERA NORTHWEST, now in it's sixth season, on the roster of King Country 4 Culture since 2002, continues to bring innovative opera productions to the Pacific Northwest. It is our mission to make this rich and historic art form accessible to new and experienced audiences of all ages, through performance, education and outreach. We offer traditional works by Mozart or Puccini, contemporary Stravinsky and Leonard Bernstein, as well as works by Northwest composers. Our staged and costumed productions with piano accompaniment provide opportunities for Northwest audiences to enjoy a wealth of local talent. Our updated English-language version of The Impresario by Mozart was the first ever opera performance at the Seattle Fringe Festival.
Performance Description: Staged costumed chamber operas (seria and buffa) featuring Northwest singers with piano accompaniment and/or the Concert Opera Quartet in performance of arias, duets, and ensembles. In works by such composers as Mozart, Puccini, Bernstein, Wolf-Ferrari, Stravinski, Rossini or Strauss we take you to the backstage battle of two divas, betrayal and revenge on the waterfront, to latte-land and Old London Town, sitcom home of a yuppie couple, where there's a will there's a way to inherit and to sneak your lover into your mother's house, or an evening of nostalgia at the operetta. Performance Samples: Click on any of the titles below to listen to a sample of the performance.
Educational Program: Workshop of performance and teaching master-class for middle and high schools or adult community, if requested. Tech Requirements: stage 18' x 24' or larger, tuned piano, lighting booth or string lights. Set-up time variable according to program. Fee:
