Seattle Opera World Premiere Community Preview AN AMERICAN DREAM is August 13
Though we come from different places, no one escapes the pain of loss, the beauty of love.

Inspired by true stories from our region's history, "An American Dream" is set during World War II and explores the lives of two Puget Sound women: a Japanese American facing internment and a German Jewish immigrant preoccupied with those she left behind.

Admission to BPA's working community preview is by donation only. Tickets for the Seattle Opera performances at McCaw Hall on August 21 & 23 range from $50 - $125.
