From Tennessee Williams' classic American play and movie, Tacoma Opera presents André Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire. Don't miss out on this profound experience that celebrates and contemplates human complexities.

​

We explore the unraveling of Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle whose vulnerability and fragile mental state are exacerbated by the harsh reality of her circumstances. As Previn’s haunting score, sung in English, masterfully weaves traditional opera with hints of jazz and blues, our production sheds light on the tragic consequences of human disbelief and dismissal. 

​

The Federal Way Performing Arts and Event Center’s impressive, elegant glass lobby provides the perfect backdrop for gathering with friends before the show or during intermission. Moreover, the PAEC is just 12 minutes from Tacoma’s city theaters and elevates your opera experience with ample free parking.
