boulder opera

A local nonprofit dedicated to enriching

our community through the art form of Opera.

Welcome to our 13th season!

Discover opera’s greatest gems!

This season we were inspired to help people “discover operatic gems,” by exploring some of opera’s most beloved classics, and operas inspired by classic stories! We will open with Opera in the Park at the Bandshell with a concert of highlights from opera’s greatest works, featuring royal characters of all kinds.

Our season continues with Jonathan Dove’s “Adventures of Pinocchio” in December and Puccini’s “Il Tabarro” and “Gianni Schicchi” in a double-bill program in February.

Double Your Impact This Holiday Season!

As the season of giving continues, we are thrilled to share an exciting opportunity to amplify your impact. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Davis Family, all donations made to Boulder Opera between now and December 31st will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000!

We just closed our Family Series this December, and brought 450 kids to experience opera, and another 500 families with the public shows. As we get ready to present Puccini’s Double Bill of Gianni Schichi and Il Tabarro (Feb 7-8-9) at the Dairy Arts Center we are reaching out to ask for your support.

Your gift will go twice as far in supporting our mission to:

• Inspire young audiences with family-friendly performances.

• Sustain high-quality performances like the Puccini Double Bill this February 2025.

• Showcase bold, contemporary works in our New Works Program, giving voice to emerging composers and artists.

• Bring opera to schools and underserved communities, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity.

• Support local musicians and creatives.

• Continue to make ticket donations to senior centers and organizations serving low income families.

The Boulder Opera is committed to making opera accessible, inspiring and engaging to the community. Our goal is to develop new audiences for this old art form, enrich the lives of our community, and provide opportunity to local musicians. Since 2012, we have brought high quality opera to the Boulder audience, who is diverse and eager to see our incredibly talented local artists performing.

Our efforts point towards sharing our love for this art form without barriers: hundreds of people have enjoyed free concerts, many of them members of underserved communities, specially Latino/Hispanic; our educational programs have let thousands of kids from different Title 1 schools in the Boulder area experience the beauty of this art; and, our accessible family-friendly productions have brought people together.
