UPDATE: The Boulder Opera Company has officially launched its highly anticipated 2024 season today, inviting the community to experience the transformative power of opera. Since its founding in 2012, the nonprofit has made significant strides in making opera accessible and engaging for audiences of all ages.
This season kicks off with the vibrant Opera in the Park, held at the Boulder Bandshell, featuring exquisite highlights from opera’s most beloved works. The outdoor event draws in crowds, creating a festival atmosphere that celebrates the art form.
As part of its mission, the Boulder Opera Company has gained acclaim for its family-friendly productions, like Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love, which captivated audiences last November with its warmth and humor. Looking ahead, the organization will present Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier in April 2024, a poignant exploration of love and transformation that promises to resonate deeply with attendees.
Beyond the stage, Boulder Opera’s efforts extend into the community, reaching hundreds of residents, particularly from underserved Latino and Hispanic communities. The organization has provided free concerts and educational programs to thousands of students from Title I schools, fostering a new generation of opera enthusiasts.
The company is currently on a mission to raise $12,000 in unrestricted funds to support local artists, expand bilingual programming, and enhance community access for the upcoming 2026 season. Their message is clear: it only takes a little to make a significant impact in the arts.
Residents are encouraged to support the Boulder Opera Company and their vital work in the community. For those wishing to contribute, visit the Colorado Gives Day page at coloradogives.org/organization/boulderopera.
