Meet some fellow travelers before they leave the stage
The Puget Sound’s weekly roundup of arts, culture, and community | February 27 to March 5, 2026
This week I’m going to leave you in the hands of another writer. KNKX Public Radio reporter Emil Moffatt examines Fellow Travelers, which is on stage at Seattle Opera through this weekend.
Moffatt gives you access to the opera’s composer, Gregory Spears, diving deeply into the remarkable story of two men, who are government employees, as they fall in love in the restrictions and prejudices of the 1950s.
More than an opera, Fellow Travelers takes part in the Lavendar Names Project, which is an archival and research initiative that collates stories and photos from members of the LGBTQ+ community who were discriminated against by the U.S. government. The finale of Fellow Travelers shares a photo montage of some of these people from the project.
Read about all this and more in Moffatt’s piece. I’m almost positive it will inspire you to catch this opera before it leaves the stage. – Ciara
