Seattle Opera

Fodor's Review:

Seattle Opera, whose home is the beautiful Marion Oliver McCaw Hall, stages such productions as Carmine,Ariadne auf Naxos, and The Girl of the Golden West from August through May. Evening-event guests are treated to a light show from 30-foot hanging scrims above an outdoor piazza. Extra women's bathrooms and a soundproof baby "crying room" make the programs comfortable and family-friendly.
