Winter Opera Saint Louis presents the St. Louis premiere of Douglas Moore’s American opera "The Ballad of Baby Doe" on Friday, February 8th (8pm) and Sunday, February 10th (3pm) at the Skip Viragh Center for the Performing Arts.

"The Ballad of Baby Doe" tells the true story of an enduring romance between silver baron Horace Tabor and Elizabeth “Baby Doe” Tabor in 1880s wild-west Colorado. Made rich by the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado, Horace Tabor has grown disenchanted with his stern wife Augusta and soon falls in love with the ravishing young Elizabeth Doe, a visitor from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Their union endures divorces, scandal, political strife and the eventual ruination of Horace’s riches brought on by the gold standard.
Ages: Recommended for ages 13 and up.
