Madama Butterfly with Seattle Opera

Jonathan rejoins Seattle Opera as the Imperial Commissioner for their production of Madama Butterfly. It is his third principal role with the company, and he is joining some fantastic singers. Whether you choose gold or silver cast, you are in for a treat! Patricia Racette and Ausrine Stundyte are our two divas.

Additionally, this will be the first-ever SIMULCAST in HD for Seattle Opera! As part of the 50th year celebration of the Seattle Center, opening night for the opera will be broadcast in the Key Arena. From what I hear, the tickets are free, and you can even drink beer while watching it! If this is how you prefer to participate in opera, now's your chance - try http://seattleopera.org/keysimulcast/overview.aspx to find out more about this unique event and grab tickets.
