Seattle Opera’s Alcina: Narcissistic Fantasies Undone- Too late to see it but an interesting production

/

Seattle Opera recently presented George Frederick Handel’s opera Alcina (the final performance was October 28), directed by Tim Albery. This was the company’s first staging of Alcina, although Seattle Opera has staged other Handel operas including Xerxes, Semele, and Giulio Cesare. Scenic and Costume Designer Hannah Clark placed the action in an unidentifiable time and place; characters wear contemporary dress and lounge on modern furniture, but accessorize with magic staffs, swords, and bits of Renaissance-era armor.

The Return- A Play About Palestine-Selling out-two performances added.

/

Dunya Production’s The Return on Thursday, October 26 started with a message from Edward Mast, one of the writers of The Return. He asked for a short moment of silence for the lives lost during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He says that he got questions about whether he was going to cancel the run of The Return. He admits he thought about canceling the show, but didn’t, because there is always a war going on, and it is always important to be conscious about the state of the world.

Andelana: A Tacoma Tale to Remember

/

I had the opportunity to see Andelana at Dukesbay Theater this Sunday. One faithful night in 1899, a 4-masted barque called The Andelana sank to the bottom of Commencement Bay, where it remains to this very day. There were no survivors save for one crewman who sought medical treatment for his tooth. Since that day, rumors have circulated around that ship, creating talks of ghosts and a curse. Tacoma playwright Roger Iverson brings to life the story of the Andelana on the stage of the Dukesbay Theater. This production was performed for the first time ever in Tacoma on October 27th at the Dukesbay Theater.
