This November 15th - 23rd Seattle’s one and only Heavy Metal Opera will be returning to the Historic Everett Theatre for a special two-week performance of its premier production, Aeterno Elementum. This amazing production is a unique heavy metal opera that features powerful stage performances, authentic medieval battles, and the soaring heavy metal music of the ARA’KUS band and choir. Ara’Kus Productions seeks to create a unique experience for the audience by blending centuries old operatic conventions with the contemporary beat of heavy metal music, all while keeping it accessible and appropriate for all ages.
“We’re all extremely excited to be bringing this unique form of storytelling back to the Historic Everett Theatre. This is really something different that you have to see to fully appreciate, and even longtime fans will find a lot of new material to enjoy, including several new pieces of music and new scenes that expand the story.” says Jeremiah Johnson, founder of Ara’Kus Productions and writer of Aeterno Elementum. Exploring the dark regions of the human soul, the visceral tale told by Aeterno Elementum features foul betrayal, impossible redemptions, and an all-important glimmer of hope in the darkness.
