Seattle Modern Opera Company (SMOC) is presenting "Romance in America," three one-act operas by American composers. SMOC is a very new company in Seattle. Created by one of the co-founders of Operamuse, SMOC wants to bring opera into the modern age. By modernizing the texts and translating them into English, SMOC performs the classics in a way you’ve never seen them before!
A Note from the Host
Ample street parking is available and several buses stop nearby. Attendees will be asked to make a donation (minimum $10) all of which goes to the musicians. Please bring any drinks and snacks you'd like to share. RSVP for exact location. Note: Please do not arrive early unless you have a special need and have communicated with me. Both hosts and musicians require preparation and set up time. The start time (3:00pm) means that is the time you should arrive, and you can expect the program will start slightly later.
