Translation for the Opera

NOTIS and Folio's series of events for literary translators continues in February with a presentation by Jonathan Dean of the Seattle Opera. Come and hear about his experience translating texts for the stage!

As Dramaturg, Jonathan Dean helps audience, staff, and artists access, understand, and interpret opera. Since 1997, he has created English captions for more than 75 operas. He helped build Seattle Opera’s online presence and directed in-house publications including the book 50 Years of Seattle Opera and a recording of Der Ring des Nibelungen. His hour-long English adaptations for children of Wagner’s Ring operas introduced children all over Washington to the passion and fascination of opera.

Please note the earlier start time for this event.
