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.

Help Us Reach Our $5,000 Goal on Colorado Gives Day!

Every gift to Boulder Opera Company from now through December 10th will be boosted by over $1 million in statewide incentives through Colorado Gives Day. Plus, start a monthly donation and your first gift will be matched up to $100!

Boulder Opera relies on the generosity of donors like you to bring opera to life and share its beauty with the community. With your support, we can continue to offer performances, music education, and unique opportunities for Boulder County.

Can you help us reach this $5,000 goal? Every donation—big or small—gets us closer and makes a lasting impact in our community.

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.
