The 1962 World’s Fair launched Seattle’s future as one of the world’s most vibrant cities. In 2012 we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Fair and envision the next 50 years of innovation for our region.
You are The Next Fifty and your ideas can help shape this six-month celebration. Starting April 21, 2010 share your ideas for the 50th anniversary celebration and the future of our region and help turn ideas into reality for 2012.

Get a sneak preview of “La Traviata,” hear highlights from the score and get all the background on this great work. Verdi’s most popular opera is a glamorous portrait of a worldly courtesan forced to give up the man of her dreams. It is a tale of masked revelry, family strife, jealousy, blighted love, and selfless sacrifice. The tragic lovers are separated by the death of the heroine just as they are finally reunited.
