Will you have some wine with your Beethoven?

Seattle Chamber Music Society
Violinist Augustin Hadelich, who appears in Seattle Symphony's "Beethoven and Wine" series.
Deal: Free master class at UW; cheap seats at Opera
Get in touch with your inner student at the University of Washington's School of Music, where a free master class with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Shulamit Ran will include not only the composer's discussion of her own music, but excerpts from a new solo viola piece Ran recently wrote for UW faculty violist Melia Watras. (1:30 p.m. Oct. 25, Brechemin Auditorium, UW Music Building, free).
Did you know Seattle Opera has $25 tickets to every performance? They're located in McCaw Hall's second-tier side upper (i.e. the nosebleed section), so bring your opera glasses or your binoculars -- but the sound up there is terrific. And you'll be seeing and hearing the same show other patrons are paying nearly eight times as much to experience. Standing room is even cheaper ($15) (206-389-7676 or www.seattleopera.org).
Will you have some wine with your Beethoven? The Seattle Symphony found such a hot reception for last year's "Beethoven and Wine" series that it's presenting three of the well-priced, short Beethoven programs — preceded by wine tastings — this week, starting Sept. 8 with the young ace violinist Augustin Hadelich in the great Violin Concerto.
Gerard Schwarz kicks off his last season as music director with these concerts (Sept. 8, 9, 10). And stay tuned for the Symphony's "Baroque and Northwest Wine" series next month — do we sense a bibulous trend?
Bach's celestial Cello Suites are on display next month, when the Dutch baroque cellist Jaap ter Linden returns to the Early Music Guild's International Series in an all-Bach solo recital at Town Hall (Oct. 9).
Fans may just go mad for Seattle Opera, which presents one of the operatic world's most fascinating and stratospheric mad scenes in Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" with the high-flying Polish-born soprano Aleksandra Kurzak (opening Oct. 16).
One of the all-time greats, pianist Murray Perahia returns to the President's Piano Series at Meany Theater in a must-hear program for keyboard fanciers (Oct. 27).
Violinist Gidon Kremer brings his highly regarded, venturesome Kremerata Baltica string orchestra to town for a program extending from Schumann to Arvo Pärt, presented by the Seattle Symphony (Oct. 29).
Seattle Symphony: Beethoven and Wine Festival
Violin Concerto, Sept. 8; Fifth Symphony, Sept. 9; Piano Concerto No. 3, Sept. 10.

The Elixir of Love
The tenor isn't too bright. The soprano likes to read. The baritone is just passing through town. Can the bass's magical elixir - a rather nice vintage of Bordeaux - bring about a happy ending? If you enjoyed The Daughter of the Regiment last season, don't miss this one!
