		Seattle Opera's Speight Jenkins is surely the most enthusiastic General Director anywhere in the opera world.
		So, when the newly renovated opera house re-opened on August 2 with a performance of Parsifal, it came as no surprise to see a Rheingold rainbow in the form of a light show playing on the metal arches and scrims that project from the façade.
		When he also realized that, apart from New York's Metropolitan Opera, no other North American house was mounting a full Ring Cycle, he took a very courageous leap and, to the astonishment of the opera establishment, launched the complete Ring of the Nibelungen in his small, geographically remote company.

		Seattle Chamber Players broke with traditional recital rules last spring to stage two first-rate theatrical presentations: Piazzolla's earthy "tango opera" Maria de Buenos Aires and (in its premiere) Paul Dresher's Kafkaesque one-singer fable, The Tyrant.
		In composer Michael Katell and choreographer Alex Martin's collaboration, singers interact with the dancers, the dancers speak and sing, and the storytelling thread flows from dialogue to narration to aria to mime to abstract movement with beautifully crafted fluency.
		As in his previous operas, Garrett Fisher explores the theme of individuals in conflict with implacable forces (religion, fate, or the state) in Stargazer, a meditation on Galileo's clash with the church (libretto by Thom Schramm).

		Seattle Opera’s summer presentations have been acclaimed often and widely as among the Pacific Northwest’s premier cultural events.
		Seattle Opera’s 2001 presentation of Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen was the most successful production in the company’s history, selling out all 36,000 seats a full year in advance of opening.
		The repetition established Seattle Opera worldwide as a Ring center; it did more: it inculcated into the Seattle opera public a liking for Wagner’s works and a familiarity with them that is probably still greater per capita than in any city outside Germany.

	‘Shining Light’ of Seattle Opera Glynn Ross dies aged 90 \| Sound Generator
		He was one of the founders of OPERA America, the group of American opera companies that has vast influence today not only in America but in the whole world of opera.
		After his years in Seattle, during which he established an opera tradition in the Northwest, he had a distinguished career in Arizona in which he did what he did here: started in a place with very little opera background, made opera important, and even, again, mounted a Ring.
		In 1975, Ross won international acclaim when Seattle Opera became the first company in the United States to produce Wagner's Ring cycle in German and English and in the way the composer intended (all four operas in sequence within a week in a "festival" setting).

		Seattle Opera's scenic department figured out how to make temporary updates (such as attaching electric lines and period posters to the walls); Dahlstrom also repositioned walls and curtains that allowed for a different look.

		Faced with a seismically unsound opera house that would have required a $99 million outlay just to bring up to code, Jenkins instead chose to go whole hog.
		The interior of the hall is smaller and more intimate, with the side walls brought in 15 feet on each side and the seating capacity reduced from 3,017 to 2,890.
		It's the only major Wagner opera that had never been staged by a company that has made Wagner its stock-in-trade, and it was written to consecrate the composer's theater-cum-temple in Bayreuth, Germany.
