Opera League Announces OUT OF THIS WORLD Jazz Party

Pikes Peak Opera League is known for its support of opera in southern Colorado. It stands above many partner arts organizations for presenting exceptional music programs at monthly meetings throughout the year and hosting special fundraising events. Formed originally as the Colorado Opera Festival Guild in 1979, Pikes Peak Opera League now celebrates its 38th year.

Recently, the League presented a wildly successful preview evening of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado" at the home of Dr. Susan Rae Jensen and Tom Trainer. Rarely performed in Colorado, the comic opera will be presented by Opera Theatre of the Rockies on Saturday evening, May 13 at 7:30 pm or on Sunday afternoon, May 14 at 3:00 pm at the Kathryn Morhman Theatre, Armstrong Hall at Colorado College, NE corner of Cache La Poudre Street and Cascade Avenue. Details about ticket sales will be available on Opera Theatre's web site starting on March 1. We ask that you visit Pikes Peak Opera League's web site at pikespeakoperaleague.org and Opera Theatre's web site at operatheatreoftherockies.org for more information about upcoming events and the opera.
