This is a rare chance to see the Seattle Opera "behind the scenes" by sitting in on the dress rehearsal for Verdi's "Attila" on January 11, at 7:00.   

Here's how the opera is described on the Seattle Opera website:

"The King of the Huns and his conquering hordes clash with cunning women warriors and a scheming Roman general in this dramatic work of historical fiction from the undisputed Italian master. Complete with assassination plots, dirty politics, and plenty of pomp and circumstance, this rousing showdown between good and evil boasts expressive melodies, glorious choral pieces, and stand-out arias."
