Well, technically I guess it’s Seattle drag star ANITA SPRITZER’S debut at the Seattle Opera but Anita’s creator, professional tenor John Marzano has already performed there before. But, Anita has opera dreams, too, so she’ll be taking center stage for a recital at Seattle Opera’s Tagney Jones Hall just in time for Seattle Pride Week.

On Thursday, June 27th, Anita’s show DIVO TO DIVA will take place at 7:30pm in the intimate performance space in the Opera Center building at 4th & Mercer. She’ll be performing a variety of pieces from the worlds of opera and musical theater. This space seats 200 so tickets won’t last forever!
