The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs
McCaw Hall
321 Mercer Street Seattle
Following the world premiere's "rapturous reception" (The Washington Post), the smash hit of the 2017 Santa Fe Opera season now makes its West Coast debut at Seattle's McCaw Hall. This innovative portrait of Apple's visionary co-founder "does what opera does best: giving audiences a glimpse into the inner life of its title character" (Marin Independent Journal). Mason Bates' score dazzles with a glossy mix of lyrical and rhythmic music, combining traditional and electronic instrumentation. Mark Campbell's compelling, funny and touching libretto interweaves universal themes of communication and connection, treating its subject with respect and humanity. Kevin Newbury's sharp and "visually stunning" (ABQ Journal) staging utilizes state-of-the-art technology to artfully conjure up and skillfully transition among the opera's 18 scenes. Don't miss this remarkable example of heightened theatrical imagination courtesy of Seattle Opera.
