![]() ![]() Producing opera is an intense and joyous business, and certainly my passion is in this company along with much of my identity. Each day there was a job for me-at the front desk answering phones, helping to reconcile numbers, transporting miniature donkeys in my Ford Falcon (no joke!)-I was your basic go-to assistant. I was very aware of being the boss’s daughter and worked my tail off. When I had an hour or so to kill before Dad was ready to go home, the Administrative Director asked me to type some envelopes, but I couldn’t finish by the end of the day so I came back next day. One day my dad asked me to come in to the office to help translate Italian scenery plans. Working at Seattle Opera wasn’t pre-planned. So I will be setting aside a very large piece of myself-one that is familiar and comfortable. After all, I have worked here my entire adult life for three General Directors, including my father Glynn Ross, the founding General Director. When I told Aidan last fall this would be my last season with the company, I knew this next step in my life would be daunting. Director of Artistic Operations & Season PlanningĪt the end of this month I will retire from Seattle Opera as an employee. ![]()
