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.

Opera On Screen – Santa Fe Opera’s La Bohème
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. Composed by Giacomo Puccini, La Bohème is set in the vibrant playground of 1920s Paris, where six Bohemians come together in pursuit of connection, meaning and artistic greatness. In advance of our first screening of Santa Fe Opera’s La Bohème, we invite you to gather your picnic baskets and join friends on the lawn. Bring your own blanket, camp chairs, and/or foldable tables (or arrive early to stake out a spot at one of our picnic tables). Parking spots adjacent to Pool Park will also be available if you are a tailgate purist, and want to enjoy the festivities out of the trunk of your vehicle. 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! Don’t want to bring your own food and drink? No problem, specially designed picnic boxes will be available for sale at Cantina Verde!

Presented by Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region at PPLD: Library 21c Colorado Springs, CO
Join us for this unique workshop! Artists have always been instrumental in envisioning new futures, solving complex challenges, and helping communities imagine what is possible.

Presented by Meredith Badler of the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA), this workshop will explore recent developments that have aligned priorities and built momentum for Colorado's arts and culture sector at the state legislature. Participants will gain an overview of Colorado's Arts Policy Framework, an intentional and inclusive advocacy roadmap designed to advance the state's arts, culture, and creative industries. The session will also provide a recap of the 2026 legislative session, including key policy developments and the passage of legislation creating a new business entity specifically designed for artists. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of the current advocacy landscape, opportunities for civic engagement, and ways the arts can continue to contribute to community well being, economic vitality, and quality of life throughout the Pikes Peak region and across Colorado. This presentation is hosted by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region in partnership with the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts.
