Aida preview at SPL
Have you always wanted to attend an opera but were afraid to buy a ticket for fear you wouldn’t really like it? Opera isn’t really considered popular music in America and a lot of people who might like it are intimidated by the thought of going to see a show with they’re unfamiliar, especially since a common conception of opera-goers is that they’re an elitist bunch who aren’t going to be friendly to newcomers. Wednesday afternoon, July 30, the Ballard Branch of the Seattle Public Library will be hosting Seattle Opera Guild’s Theodore Duncan as he presents a preview of Verdi’s Aida, one of opera’s best loved classic works, coming soon to Seattle.
Can’t make the afternoon preview? Head to the North East branch in the evening for a repeat of the preview.
