I am excited to take part in Fauré's “Pénélope ”--the last time this piece was performed anywhere near Seattle is in the 70s in California! This is such a beautiful opera, and I'm looking forward to playing in the orchestra pit with wonderful musicians!

The UW School of Music partners with Vespertine Opera and Philharmonia Northwest to present Gabriel Fauré's rarely performed opera Pénélope (1913). Fauré's elegant lyricism and refined expression shine through this original treatment of Homer's timeless Odyssey. The production, directed by Dan Miller and conducted by Dean Williamson, features a cast of veteran professionals including Julia Benzinger, Clayton Brainerd, Nerys Jones, and recent UW alumnus Eric Neuville.
