Opera Colorado

Happy Juneteenth from Opera Colorado! To celebrate, we're highlighting some of our favorite businesses, organizations, social accounts and more that uplift Black communities in the Denver area and beyond.

Yesterday, members of our Opera Colorado community came together to celebrate the impact of legacy giving at our Crescendo Society Legacy Luncheon. With costumes from Die tote Stadt on display and a wonderful performance by Mason O'Brien, Jordan McCready, and Beth Nielsen (all past/present Resident Artists), we got to see the ways legacy giving makes amazing things possible.

Happy Pride Month from Opera Colorado! 🌈

Opera invites us to feel deeply, express boldly, and connect through our shared humanity. This month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and the artists, audiences, and friends who help make our company a more vibrant, welcoming place.

Thank you for being part of our community—we’re so glad you’re here. 💖

Friday and Saturday is Departure, the show that celebrates our Resident Artists and closes the season.
