Any Seattle Opera goers?

I have not been to the opera here but I've been in Los Angeles. The fashion there can range wildly. What I've noticed up here in Seattle (from good restaurants to symphony) is that it can be REALLY casual. I've seen people dressed nicely and I've also seen people in shorts. Really.

Dress as to how you feel good, I think. Simple and classic always works.

I've seen the casual at the opera in Toronto (10 years ago, at Canadian Opera Company) and when we went to classical (baroque) instrumental concerts for a few years, people just wore whatever they felt like. I hesitated to mention this initially since it's been a few years I've attended opera.

The opera companies want people of all ages, to enjoy their productions, they would rather get paid attendees rather than fuss over standards on being dressy.

Probably would be different, if it was an opera fundraising event when tickets are abit more.
