Thousand Bridges Opera returns to the Margaret Partee Performing Arts Center for their 2026 Pride Month performance! Anna Singer spoke live on the QED Afternoon Show with co-founders Alicia Jayourba and Bridget Johnston, and cast members Denver Perdomo, Zachary Dean Smith, and Brienne Sharo.
On the bill are the world premiere of Jodi Goble's Sirens vs Amazons, a sapphic rom-com, and a genderqueer English adaptation of Jacques Offenbach's Isle of Tulipatan. Bri, Zach, and Denver tell the story of Tulipatan, and talk about their characters. Bridget did a new translation for this adaptation, and Alicia directs. Bridget directs Sirens.
Join Thousand Bridges Opera for "delightfully queer" performances this weekend, Friday, June 12th and Saturday, June 13th. They'll be at the Margaret Partee Performing Arts Center in Bellevue at 7:30pm both evenings. More information and tickets can be found on Thousand Bridges' website.
