Last night we went to the Opera. Sort of. We got a flier in the mail for a Sideshow that the Opera Colorado Young Artists were putting on. It sounded like fun, so we got tickets:
A casual cabaret-style program performed by our stellar Young Artists. Enjoy a night out with cocktails and light appetizers (available for purchase) and a program featuring Douglas Moore’s Gallantry, a hysterically funny spoof on the 1950s-era TV soap opera complete with commercials, and cabaret songs by Cole Porter and William Bolcom.
We had a good time. The show was held in the Studio Loft of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and we were seated almost front and center at a table of 4 with another couple who were very nice Opera buffs. They introduced us to the Director of Opera Colorado while we were there.
After the show we had a late dinner at Euclid Hall which has German inspired food and a really nice beer selection. They had a large sour beer listing which is Erica's favorite.
Interestingly enough, later in the week Groupon had an offer for Opera Colorado and we picked up season tickets for a great deal. we will be seeing Don Giovanni, Romeo and Juliet, and the world premier of the Scarlet Letter over the coming months.
