Seattle Opera Through the Decades is a digital exhibit created for the Seattle Opera Archives by University of Washington MLIS students Sara Reubelt & Rebecca Shaw. This exhibit highlights the significance that opera has played in the community. Our aim is to encourage public engagement with the Archives while placing the history of the Seattle Opera into the cultural and social contexts that shaped it. With the recent opening of the Opera Center, we saw an opportunity to promote materials which were previously inaccessible. We hope that visitors to this exhibit will find it both informative and fun.
