armory

The 33-year-old Seattle Shakespeare Company has long operated out of the Center Theatre at Seattle Center Armory, a shared space.

An elliptical halo of thin, concentrated light floated in the capacious drill hall of the Park Avenue Armory on a recent morning, above a circular space designed to dissolve your sense of space and time.

At the Armory, listeners will hear five electronic pieces that make up just a sliver of the 29-hour cycle, but even that will be substantial.

Pierre Audi, the Armory’s artistic director, sat nearby, visibly delighted by the scene around him.

Such is the effect of “Inside Light,” the Armory’s theatrical presentation of electronic music from “Licht,” or “Light,” Stockhausen’s monumental, impractical cycle of seven operas written from the late 1970s to the early 2000s.
