Wow, what a difference a good review can make. So the Seattle Opera scene is alive and in wonderful shape under Speight Jenkins, and the Seattle Opera House is one of the technically finest venues to sing in for the great opera stars; that's cool. I guess I kind of remember Glynn Ross days; ancient history, enit?
But straighten me out, please. The Seattle Opera company has no real association with SSO, does it? Don't they have their own orchestra? Are they the SOA?
Anyway, the positive ink with Seattle's name on it is great.

The Opera orchestra uses many Symphony musicians but is a separate entity.
The SoSo orchestra hires musicians like Boeing hires machinists.
Neither the musicians nor the machinists are actually part of the hiring organization.
And in the case of the SoSo, they have no basic human rights.
Think of the SoSo as a form of Chinese government who like to go screaming to the cops anytime they feel a cool breeze of truth on their necks.
The SSO surrounds itself with security because, like the Chinese government,it is afraid that sensible, honorable, and decent will catch on to what a completely, totally disreputable, incompetent, and useless bunch of losers they are.
The musicians are only associated with these despotic loonies.
Although there are probably some who are loyal card carrying members of the party.
I wouldn't know, I've only had social contact with three of them, and they were more than alright.
Even though, being professionals, they are too busy for my pathetic projects.
Hallo, Y'All!
Yes, nobody (opera-lover or not) should (have) miss(ed) the recent SeaOp "Aida", esp. the "gold" cast!!!! It was superb!!!!
Tschüß,
