Russell Thomas, “a tenor of gorgeously burnished power” (The New York Times), returns to the McCaw Hall stage this January. Thomas sang the role of Ismaele in Nabucco (‘15), and we are excited to welcome him back as Aeneas in Les Troyens in Concert on January 17 & 19.
In this interview, he shares his favorite roles, his inspirations, his future goals, and more.
Up next at Seattle Opera: a concert presentation of Part Two of Les Troyens, the epic based on Virgil’s Aeneid by Hector Berlioz. For two performances only, January 17 and 19, Seattleites will have a chance to hear this incredible show, rarely given in the United States, starring some of today’s leading singers, and with an orchestra of 80 and chorus of 60. Opera-lovers who heard Seattle Opera’s extremely successful concert presentation of Samson and Delilah in 2023 have an idea of what to expect. Although there won’t be full costumes, hair and make-up, sets, props, or complex staging, you’ll enjoy the music and follow the story thanks to lighting, supertitles, and intense performances by singers focused on touching you with their voices.
