In addition to mainstage premieres of his
Black Widow (1972) and
The Seagull (1976), Seattle Opera presented two one-acts by the young American composer Thomas Pasatieri. In 1971, the world premiere of his
Calvary (based on the verse drama by Yeats) was given at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Medina; in 1978, the company toured free performances of his
Signor Deluso to Federal Way, Carnation, Bothell, Maple Valley, and Vashon.
