This is turning into my winter of opera. First I was surprised to find The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs is not only a good opera, but also an enjoyable one and ended up buying tickets to see it again. Then I discovered the same thing about Seattle Opera’s youth performance Ulysses.

Director’s Choice is always a Pacific Northwest Ballet season highlight for me. This year, it comes in the middle of a visit from out-of-town family, but they won’t miss me if I disappear for one night. And yes, I’m trying to convince them to join me. Since I’m making the argument in favor of this innovative program anyway, I might as well share it here.

Expensive tickets, long run times, foreign languages, and a reputation for elitism – not to mention a propensity for wildly inappropriate story lines – makes opera a hard sell for families. Seattle area families have an advantage, though. The Youth Opera Project’s affordable opera designed expressly for children and families is a great way to test the opera waters.

In all honesty, I wasn’t super-impressed last year when the current Seattle Opera season was announced. I didn’t want to see Turn of the Screw, and I was on the fence about the upcoming (R)evolution of Steve Jobs. I was kind of curious about it but suspected I wouldn’t like it. Now I’m actually excited to it see it. Here’s why.
