“Operation: The Mountaineers”

On Sept 29 at 3 pm, Tibbetts United Methodist Church will host a lecture on the forgotten Edwardian opera, “The Mountaineers” by Guy Eden and Reginald Somerville. The event is directed by Scott Farrell, the current choir director at Tibbetts UMC, and it occurs on the 115th anniversary of the opera. Farrell will share a mountain of research on “The Mountaineers” including historical context, the original London cast and plot, critical response and revisions, historical production photos, and video clips from 21st-century performances. The event is FREE to attend, and does not include a worship service. Tibbetts UMC is located at 3940 41st Street SW in West Seattle.
