Opera Bus Pre-Event: 'What’s All the Singing About?'
Presented by KCME 88.7 FM at KCME Studio Colorado Springs, CO
Once infamously described as "an exotic and irrational entertainment," what we know as opera was originally conceived as a union of several arts: poetry, music, acting, stagecraft, and dance. Four hundred years later, is opera still relevant? Why does it persist? As Robert Benchley once remarked, "Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings." So let's explore what the singing is about and what it's been like throughout the history of this unique art form.

'Under the Colorado Moon'
Presented by The City of Cripple Creek's the Butte Theater at The Butte Theater Cripple Creek, CO
Last seen on the Butte stage in 2021, “Under the Colorado Moon” tells the story of gentleman Brett Armstrong. In financial distress after a lost wager and falsely accused of forgery, Brett must fake his own death and flee for a new life in the rough and tumble mountain town of Cripple Creek, CO. He assumes a new identity and joins a team of hard rock miners who toil under the thumb of Roy Shatterly, a man as cruel as he is rich. All is well until Armstrong falls for a beautiful and spirited mule skinner who has also caught Shatterly’s eye. Now, Armstrong must either deny his love or risk his freedom...and quite possibly his life!

Presented by Green Box at Sallie Bush Community Building Green Mountain Falls, CO
Recorded live at the Santa Fe Opera during the 2025 season, Opera on Screen offers audiences a fresh way to engage with La Boheme, the timeless tale of love and friendship set to some of opera’s best-loved music.

Consider bringing a fun culinary experience and celebratory beverages. Feel free to dress for the occasion, especially if you plan on attending the opera screening at 7 pm – from bolos to ballgowns, all forms of creative expression are welcome!
