is cooking up a brilliant show for May!
This is a sneak peek of a tune from the upcoming show, Departure.
Departure is your chance to experience something different—an intimate evening of two short operas that draw you into two very different stories.
In Down in the Valley, a young couple’s love is pushed to the breaking point, leading to a violent choice that changes everything. Then The Bear shifts gears: a tense standoff between a widow and an unexpected visitor turns into something fast, funny, and surprisingly romantic.
This performance will be happening on May 29 and May 30. General admission tickets are available starting at $30!
Bonfils-Stanton Foundation supported Opera Colorado with a grant in 2025.
