Opera Rescue for Tsunami Relief

Born of a desire to help the nearly 5 million people left homeless, many without access even to drinking water, a group of the finest artists in the region has banded together to present a benefit concert for victims of the tsunami. 'Opera Rescue for Tsunami Relief' will be a black tie event, featuring operatic gems from a broad repertoire, from Verdi and Puccini, to Mozart and Bizet. Patrons will experience arias and ensembles sung by artists who have graced the stages of many of the world's finest opera houses. We have commitments from artists who have appeared with Seattle Opera, Seattle Symphony, Cincinnati Opera, Dallas Opera, Washington National Opera and many others. Our accompanists for this event have themselves received national and even international acclaim.
At intermission, 'Opera Rescue' patrons can participate in a silent auction. Many items are being donated by concerned local businesses, and we expect a wide variety with something to tickle everyone's fancy. At the conclusion of the concert, please join us for a catered 'Meet the Artists' reception, where we will announce the winners of the silent auction. All proceeds from ticket sales, silent auction, and on site donations will go to Mercy Corps.
