Angela Meade and Verdi: an unmissable combination
International superstar soprano Angela Meade has been setting the bar for operatic excellence for 20 years. Now she will bring her unmatched prowess to Vashon Center for the Arts in one of her signature roles. Hailing from Centralia, Washington and an alumna of Pacific Lutheran University, Ms. Meade will dazzle as Amelia in this homecoming performance. The constantly sought-after John Matthew Myers brings his warm, shimmering tenor to the role of Riccardo. The rest of the principal cast features local powerhouses Andrew Krikawa, Rachelle Moss, and Allison Pohl. Verdi’s sweeping score, full of drama and intrigue, will be on full display in this concert version of Un Ballo in Maschera (A Masked Ball).

Your new family Christmastime experience awaits.
At just 45 minutes in length, Amahl and the Night Visitors is the family holiday event you’ve been looking for. This tuneful, charming opera is sung in English and perfect for all ages. When The Three Kings pay a visit to a poor mother and her crippled son, a miracle occurs, but not before we learn that the kings’ larger-than-life personalities are outdone by that of the boy. Amahl and the Night Visitors warms the heart with its powerful message and serves as a reminder of the true meaning of the holiday, all while making you smile ear to ear.

The Pulitzer Prize winning opera based on Arthur Miller’s Tony award winning play
What is the truth? Can an entire community be persuaded by the seduction of one voice? Gossip, accusations, and fear fan the flames of the Salem witch trials in this classic and ever-relevant tale. We believe there’s never been a more poignant time to mount a production of this monumental opera. We’ve assembled the most magnetic singing actors of the Northwest led by Ksenia Popova, Zachary Lenox, and Rosamund Dyer to spin the web of The Crucible. We invite you to experience this story for yourself and draw your own conclusions about the truth.
