Tickets are on sale now for the world premiere of *Tacoma Method*, a world premiere opera by American composer Gregory Youtz and Chinese American poet Zhang Er, detailing the true story of the 1885 expulsion of Chinese Americans from Tacoma City. Both the cast and the chamber orchestra members are fully professional and very diverse and drawn from national searches. Whether you have or have not been to an opera before, this one will draw you in and make you think about our city and our country and how we do- or do not learn from history. March 31 and April 1, 7:00 pm April 2, 2:00 pm Rialto Theatre, Downtown Tacoma Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster on the Tacoma Opera Website <https://www.tacomaopera.org/> OR by calling the Pantages (ASM Global) Box Office: 253-591-5894. There is a $4 processing charge but it is still cheaper than Ticketmaster, both for the buyer and the opera company! -- Gregory Youtz Professor of Music Director, Trinidad Study Abroad Program Former Director, China Study Abroad Program Pacific Lutheran University Pronouns: He/His Name pronounced: Yoots
