boulder opera

A local nonprofit dedicated to enriching

our community through the art form of Opera.

Welcome to our 14th season!

A Season of Stories That Captivate

This season, Boulder Opera invites you on a journey through passion, comedy, and timeless music. We begin with our beloved Opera in the Park at the Boulder Bandshell—an open-air celebration featuring highlights from opera’s most iconic works.

The season continues with Donizetti’s delightful romantic comedy The Elixir of Love in November for the whole family, followed by the lush elegance of Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier—a poignant tale of love, time, and transformation—in April.

Boulder Opera is funded primarily through donations, and we are deeply grateful to our generous patrons who help preserve this art form and bring it to life on stage. Your support sustains local artists and enables us to present high-quality productions and educational programs for the community.

We look forward to sharing this extraordinary season with you—thank you for being part of our opera family!

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.
