Discover a Season of Timeless Music and Dramatic Storytelling
This season, Boulder Opera presents a vibrant lineup of performances that bring timeless stories and unforgettable music to our community. We begin with Mozart vs. Salieri: A Summer Opera Rivalry Concert in August, an exciting evening exploring the legendary rivalry between two iconic composers through beloved arias and dramatic ensembles.
In October, join us for A Night at the Salon: Vintage Glamour & Opera, a special fundraiser and celebration of Boulder Opera’s 15th Anniversary. Inspired by Europe’s historic salon concerts, this elegant evening features cocktails, conversation, and intimate live performances while supporting Boulder Opera’s mission of bringing accessible opera and arts education to our community.
The season continues in November with Dinner Opera: La Traviata at the historic Dickens Opera House, offering an immersive and emotional chamber production of Verdi’s beloved masterpiece in a unique dinner theater experience.
We conclude the season in April with Gounod’s Faust, a sweeping tale of love, ambition, and redemption featuring an ensemble orchestra led by Steven Aguiló-Arbúes. Filled with some of opera’s most celebrated music and powerful choral moments, this production brings Goethe’s legendary story to life in an intimate and dramatic setting.
As we celebrate our 15th season, Boulder Opera remains committed to enriching our community through exceptional performances, arts education, and meaningful cultural experiences. We are deeply grateful to our generous patrons and supporters whose contributions make this work possible.
We look forward to sharing this extraordinary season with you—thank you for being part of the Boulder 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.
