Opera!


Tacoma Opera will present Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment starting Friday evening.  A great opera for seasoned listeners, as well as first time opera goers.  This is a comic opera, with a wonderful plot, and beautiful music.  A great opportunity for all of our community to experience wonderful entertainment and music making.

Here is the cute synopsis on the Tacoma Opera website, "Boys meets girl.  Boy sings a bunch of high notes.  Boy loses girl.  Girl sings a bunch of high notes.  Boy gets girl.  Everyone lives happily ever after.  This comedy about a young woman raised by a French regiment is that simple, that sweet, and that utterly delightful."

Tacoma Opera has a lot of helpful information on their website, click here for more information.  You will find a more detailed summary of the plot, biographies of the singers, and some wonderful behind the scenes photos.  Also - Tacoma Opera was on local cable television promoting this opera.  Click here to stream the October 29 edition of Cityline.

  1. And the big tenor aria from this opera earned Pavarotti the title "King of the High C's".
