General and Artistic Director James Robinson announced that Alicia Moriarty, longtime member of Seattle Opera's production team, is the company's next director of production. Moriarty began her career at Seattle Opera in September 2004 as technical financial services coordinator. In the nearly 21 years since, she has worked in almost every facet of technical and production management, developing a collaborative approach to opera production. Since being promoted to assistant production director in 2019, Moriarty has overseen the production for Seattle Opera's annual fundraiser gala, the Big Opera Party, and managed all third-party rentals of the Opera Center. Seattle Opera's Production Department oversees the sets, costumes, projections, and hair and makeup for every show, from co-productions and outside rentals to productions built in house. Beyond the mainstage, the department also facilitates a year-round calendar of events at the Opera Center, including the annual Open House and Big Opera Party, as well as a regular schedule of third-party rentals, with events ranging from concerts and art exhibitions to blood drives and even a wedding. More than 800 staff, artists, artisans, technicians, and crew members are employed by Seattle Opera annually.
