UPDATE: Boulder Opera Company has just launched an exhilarating new season, inviting the community to immerse themselves in a captivating journey of passion and laughter through the timeless art of opera. Since its founding in 2012, this nonprofit organization has focused on making opera accessible to audiences of all ages, breaking barriers and fostering connections within the community.
The season kicked off dramatically with Opera in the Park at the Boulder Bandshell, where attendees enjoyed highlights from some of opera’s most iconic works. The excitement continued as families gathered for the joyful and humorous production of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love, which showcased the heartwarming side of opera in November.
Looking ahead, Boulder Opera Company is set to present Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier in April, a poignant exploration of love, time, and transformation that promises to be a memorable experience for all attendees. This production is part of Boulder Opera’s mission to inspire and engage local audiences.
Beyond the stage, Boulder Opera’s impact resonates deeply within the Boulder community. Hundreds of residents, particularly from underserved Latino and Hispanic communities, have enjoyed free concerts, while thousands of students from Title I schools have participated in engaging educational programs aimed at introducing them to the world of opera. These initiatives are vital in creating new generations of opera enthusiasts.
As a nonprofit primarily funded by donations, Boulder Opera Company is currently aiming to raise $12,000 in unrestricted funds. This crucial financial support will help sustain local artists, expand bilingual programming, and increase community access for the upcoming 2026 season. Their message is clear: it only takes a small contribution to make a significant impact in the arts.
To support Boulder Opera Company, residents are encouraged to participate in Colorado Gives Day by visiting coloradogives.org/organization/boulderopera. This is a vital opportunity for community members to contribute to the arts and ensure that future productions remain accessible to everyone.
