Achilles and Patroclus-At Seattle Opera’s Open House this Saturday

Marie Bonfils / September 18, 2023

As part of Seattle Opera’s Open House this Saturday, September 23rd, Lowbrow Opera Collective, will revive their short original opera Achilles & Patroclus, first performed as part of the More Than Friends show, which was conceived by Erika Meyer and James T. Washburn during Seattle Opera’s 2021 Creation Lab. Through flashes of intimate moments and memories, Achilles remembers his life with the love he lost in this achingly beautiful story. Revere Taylor and Jae Bernardo will reprise their roles as Achilles and Patroclus with Steven Luksan at the keyboard.

Join Lowbrow next Saturday at 1:15 pm at Seattle Opera’s open house to celebrate this unabashedly queer chamber opera. It’s free, but be peachy and RSVP using the link below.
