The work, featuring the torments and fantasies of a tenor about to sing "The Messiah," is having its world premiere in Seattle. There's another performance today (March 17) at 2 pm at the Frye.
The nonprofit group that runs the annual three-day Labor Day music and arts festival will return to its one-price ticket structure and will move mainstage acts inside, to Key Arena.
Ott, from Puyallup, will be featured along with Beethoven by the young American quartet, the Chiara, which will also play a date the next night at Chop Suey.
The program for the festival, which runs Jan. 27-30, is an interesting mix, and there's special interest in the short concerts that precede three of the main events.
