Boettcher Concert Hall
Eun Sun Kim, Music Director of the San Franscisco Opera, is the first woman to serve as music director of one of America’s largest opera companies.

Hairspray
Tuesday, March 5, 2024 – 7:30pm
Buell Theatre
You Can’t Stop the Beat! HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical comedy phenomenon is back on tour! Join 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad in 1960s Baltimore as she sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a girl with big dreams (and even bigger hair) change the world?
Featuring the beloved score of hit songs including “Welcome to the‘60s,” “Good Morning Baltimore” and “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” HAIRSPRAY is “fresh, winning, and deliriously tuneful!” (The New York Times).
Emma
Thursday, April 11, 2024 – 7pm
Wolf Theatre
This rendition of Emma is a joyous, irreverent take in conversation with the Regency novel. In a new adaptation that’s a bit zany and refreshingly contemporary, playwright Kate Hamill infuses the language and perspectives of today into Austen’s beloved characters. You may be surprised by who says what — and how. One thing’s for sure, you’ll never see Emma the same way again.
Samson & Delilah
Tuesday, May 7, 2024 – 7:30pm
Ellie Caulkins Opera House
Opera Colorado closes the season with an operatic take on the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. Samson is a man of super-human strength. He has one true weakness, and it’s the sultry Delilah’s job to discover it and ensure victory for her people. Indulge in a performance of stunning visuals, epic dance, and some of opera’s most gorgeously evocative music culminating in a finale that literally brings the house down.
