Upcoming Engagements
Theatre of Dreams Gala
This exclusive event will celebrate an extraordinary convergence of Colorado history in 2026: our state's 150th anniversary, Central City Opera's 94th Summer Festival season, and the highly anticipated return of The Ballad of Baby Doe to our historic stage in July — 70 years after we commissioned this iconic American opera that immortalized Colorado's silver barons and the mining boom that built our state. Join us for an unforgettable evening honoring the pioneering spirit that built Colorado — the audacity of silver barons, the dreams of prospectors, and the vision that brought grand opera to a mountain town. Set against the Denver Art Museum's architectural splendor, we'll gather to enjoy cocktails, dinner, and live performances while raising essential support for Central City Opera's mission. Dress in your finest gold and silver as a tribute to the precious metals and bold elegance that defined Colorado's Gilded Age. Tickets |

Fellow Travelers
role: Ms. Lightfoot July 18-August 16 Set during the 1950s “Lavender Scare,” Fellow Travelers follows two men whose romantic involvement becomes a dangerous secret in an era of government surveillance and fear. Recognized as one of the most widely performed and talked-about new American operas of the past decade, Fellow Travelers is based on Thomas Mallon’s acclaimed novel (recently adapted as a CBS/Paramount+ limited series). Oklahoma role: Sylvie/Ensemble July 10-August 15 Rodgers & Hammerstein’s beloved musical returns to the Alice Busch Opera Theater in a bold new production directed by Francesca Zambello and conducted by James Lowe. Set on the cusp of statehood, Oklahoma! celebrates the dreams and complexities of settlers forging new lives on the frontier. This fresh staging evokes both the grandeur of the American landscape and the optimism of the artists who created the work as World War II raged. Oklahoma! is many things: a landmark of musical theater, a grand love story, and an invitation to reflect on the promise of America. Tickets |
