Overview

charming and impressive…his show is unlike anything I’ve seen.”

– KCTS9


After two seasons of sellout shows, The Drunken Tenor, Rob McPherson, returns to Tagney Jones Hall this December for another celebration of opera, holiday hits, and hilarity. Seen it before? Think again. Joined by duet partners from the past, present, and future, The Drunken Tenor’s bringing a flask of fresh, fermented fun brewed in his cask of comedy opera.

Also available in a 2024/25 season package.

“The Drunken Tenor was the best night we have had in quite some time. His show made us laugh, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate Seattle Opera for sharing him with the community.”

– Seattle Opera Patron
