Opera meets Shakespeare in a unique theatrical adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing"! For a preview of the sunny Sicilian setting, dozens of romantic costumes, Berlioz's exuberant score (conducted by Seattle Symphony's Ludovic Morlot), and our fresh staging (by ACT Theatre's John Langs), check out this new montage of dress rehearsal footage.

Tickets and more information about the production can be found here on Seattle Opera’s website, while production photos and a deeper dive into the world of the design, featuring interviews with Costume Designer Deb Trout, Lighting Designer Connie Yun, and myself, are available below.

Sit down with the Seattle-based BEATRICE & BENEDICT creative team (Costume Designer Deborah Trout, Set Designer Matthew Smucker, and Lighting Designer Connie Yun) as they discuss the different elements coming together to create a romantic Sicilian environment. Our one-of-a-kind theatrical mashup of Shakespeare and Berlioz plays February 24 thu March 10 at McCaw Hall.
