01/02/2007 Archived Entry: "Met Opera in Seattle Area"

At first I thought that the new in-movie-theaters project by the Metropolitan Opera wasn't happening around here -- Washington state hadn't been listed when I looked for theater locations. So I was surprised when a trailer advertising the HD closed-circuit simulcasts played before "The Holiday" at Bella Bottega when my sister and I were there the other day. I figured that the Regal Cinema chain was showing the operas, but not the actual theater in Redmond. So I was pleased to hear (from The Seattle Times' Melinda Bargreen, via GirlHacker) that most of the operas in the series will be available here! I'm especially interested in The First Emperor on January 13 after hearing about it on NPR. There are other operas that are also tempting -- Eugene Onegin and The Barber of Seville, for example.
