URGENT UPDATE: Boulder Opera Company is kicking off its latest season, inviting the community to experience a thrilling journey through opera right now. Since its inception in 2012, this nonprofit organization has dedicated itself to making opera accessible, engaging, and deeply rooted in community connections.
Just recently, the season launched with a spectacular event, Opera in the Park, held at the Boulder Bandshell. This outdoor celebration featured highlights from opera’s most iconic works, captivating audiences with its blend of passion and artistry.
In November, families flocked to the theatre to enjoy the warmth and humor of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. Looking ahead, a major highlight is the upcoming performance of Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier scheduled for April. This production promises to explore themes of love, time, and transformation in a sumptuous theatrical experience.
Boulder Opera’s influence goes far beyond the stage. Hundreds of residents, particularly from underserved Latino and Hispanic communities, have benefitted from free concerts. Moreover, thousands of students from Title I schools have been introduced to the world of opera through engaging educational programs. These initiatives continue to inspire and cultivate new generations of opera lovers.
As a nonprofit relying on donations, Boulder Opera Company is actively seeking support to sustain local artists and ensure its vibrant productions remain accessible to all. This year, they aim to raise $12,000 in unrestricted funds to support artist pay, expand bilingual programming, and enhance community access for the 2026 season. Their message is clear: it only takes a little to make a big impact.
For those looking to support this worthwhile cause, contributions can be made on Colorado Gives Day via [coloradogives.org/organization/boulderopera](https://coloradogives.org/organization/boulderopera). Every donation counts towards fostering a love for opera in the community.
Boulder Opera Company is located at 2015 Grape Ave., Boulder 80304, and can be reached at 303.731.2036 or through their website at boulderoperacompany.com.
