Seattle Opera’s Pagliacci Highlights Recital

Seattle Opera has been releasing content at a shocking rate this fall – new performances are posted every Friday. After so much new digital content, you’d think that people would know what to expect by now. But nearly everything I’ve seen so far has been a different “type” of production.

Seattle Opera Online Fall 2020

Over the summer, Seattle Opera did a lot of interesting online programming, but I was stupid and missed most of it because I didn’t realize the videos were only posted for a limited time. So when they posted their fall programming, I was determined not to miss out, and did something I haven’t done since I aged out of the Bravo Club – I bought season tickets. Even though the season only runs through the end of the year, it contains more opera than a regular full season. Only it’s all online.
