 Orchestra concerts and opera |
950 13th Street (Denver Performing Arts Complex) Denver, CO 80204 United States +1 303 640 7539 |
Located in the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Boettcher Concert Hall is the main stage for the Colorado Symphony, directed by Marin Alsop, and Opera Colorado. The lovely venue contains 2,364 seats. Events are in the round, which poses a sound quality problem for those facing the backs of performers. Still, the hall's acoustics and architecture are phenomenal and it is a treat to see opera in the round. An adjacent parking garage takes the hassles out of city parking. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Victorian-style theater |
124 Eureka Street Denver, CO 80427 United States +1 303 292 6700 http://www.centralcityopera.org/ |
This old Victorian theatre carries a long cultural legacy. Built in 1861 with Colorado granite, the theater boasts of perfect acoustics behind walls that are four feet thick. After the gold rush subsided, the theatre stopped operations. However, it was reopened in 1932 and has been at the center of opera performances in Colorado. Inside the opera house, do notice the impressive fresco on the ceiling, painted by John C. Massman. The seating area is rather compact with 750 seats. Every opera is in English.

 New oasis of culture in the Rockies |
14th & Curtis Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 357 2787 (Tickets) http://www.operacolorado.org/ |
There is a new oasis of culture in the Rockies: the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, home to Opera Colorado and the Colorado Ballet. This brand-new, 2268-seat, $92 million venue is in downtown Denver. Named for local first lady of opera Ellie Caulkins (whose family donated a generous $7 million in return for naming rights), this giant opera house incorporates elements of the Denver Municipal Auditorium, which has occupied the space since the 19th century. The result is a unique design boasting state-of-the-art facilities and an imtimate feel, the perfect place to showcase Denver's local talent. Opera Colorado hosts 16 performances of 4 major operas, such as Carmen, Bellini's Norma, and The Abduction from the Seraglio, each year. Colorado Ballet also puts on 70 dance shows each season. Visitors to Denver, whether for business or pleasure, should consider an outing to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House during the season (September-April). Review © 2007, Wcities |
