FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BOULDER OPERA COMPANY ANNOUNCES FOUR LIVE (LIMITED IN-PERSON)
PERFORMANCES OF LA BOHEME AT DICKENS OPERA HOUSE

FULLY STAGED PERFORMANCES WILL TAKE PLACE NOVEMBER 13, 14, 19, & 22

September 5, 2020, BOULDER, CO – Boulder Opera presents Giacomo Puccini’s la Boheme—fully staged and in accordance with strict local, state, and national COVID-19 safety guidelines. Performances will be complimented by a wonderful dining experience at Dickens Opera House in Longmont. There will be four shows with limited (50 seat) attendance starting November 13th through the 22nd.

Boulder Opera’s unique production of La Boheme tells the classic, heart-rendering tale of an intimate group of bohemian artists trying to survive in 1830s Paris reimagined to take place within the COVID-19 era of 2020. The lives of the poet Rodolfo, his painter best friend, Marcello (along with Marcello’s full-time singer/sometime girlfriend, Musetta) up-for-anything musician, Schaunard, and the stuffy-but-loveable philosopher, Colline, change forever when Mimì, a neighboring seamstress, knocks on the door. Through them we encounter loyalty, humor, forgiveness, passion, tragedy, and love.

All four performances are in collaboration with pianist and Music Director, Steven Aguiló-Arbues, and feature Phoenix Gayles as Mimi, Nathan Snyde as Rodolfo, Armando Contreras as Marcello and Daniela Guzman as Museta.

Stage Director of Boulder Opera, Michael Travis Risner, says, “My concept is a modern setting in COVID-era America. Please note this isn’t political commentary, simply illustrating the world in which we now live. It is my sincere hope that audiences feel safe coming to our venue, having dinner and a drink with us, keeping those masks and hand sanitizer with you, and enjoy the fourth most performed opera in the world.”

It is recommended that attendees arrive early to reserve a table and enjoy Dickens Opera House’s excellent american tavern cuisine, beer, and wine. Dinner service and seating begins at 6:00 pm for all performances, with the exception of the Sunday matinee, which begins service/seating at 12:00 pm.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
Friday, November 13th, at 7:00 pm
Saturday, November 14th, at 7:00 pm
Thursday, November 19th, at 7:00 pm
Sunday, November 22nd, at 1:00 pm

About the Boulder Opera Company:

The Boulder Opera is committed to making opera accessible, inspiring and engaging to the community.
Our goal is to develop new audiences for this old art form, enrich the lives of our community, and provide
opportunity to local musicians. Through our Family Series, we explore repertoire in reduced versions with a
narrator and an ensemble orchestra. Our full-length productions, which include standard, contemporary,
and rarely performed works, are experimental in nature, seeking to reach and entertain new audiences
and delight the old. In addition, our outreach program is designed to inspire and educate the young
generation about opera and to make connections to other disciplines through our study guides and free
workshops.

Boulder Facial Hair Club 2nd Annual Competition – October 25
What is it about beards that drive us absolutely batty? Be it a well groomed handle-bar moustache or the long flowing mastery of a wizard’s beard, facial hair has always captivated and awed us. Coming off the huge success of their 2013 Competition, the Boulder Facial Hair Club is again holding their “Bearding” (a sanctioned and now world renowned sport) event for facial hair fortitude. This year most of the proceeds go to Rocky Mountain Cancer Assistance (RMCA), a nonprofit Colorado based organization that helps patients with cancer pay for basic living expenses. The event will be held at the Dickens Opera House and will highlight numerous categories such as Moustache, Business Beard, Female Artistic and the Yeard, a yearlong beard growing competition that requires competitors to shave in house and record their progress. The event sold out last year and plans to draw even more patrons and competitors this year. The competition starts at 7:30pm and tickets start at $10. Call 303-834-9384 for tickets and information.

 

 

The Shining Ball – October 25
Having inspired the setting of the 1980 Stanley Kubrick horror/thriller it is only fitting that the infamous Stanley Hotel hosts this Shining themed gala. Those brave enough to attend will be treated to the upmost elegance the Stanley Hotel can offer with just a dash of the macabre that every patron hopes for. The ball will play host to live entertainment, a Jack Nicholson impersonator, Shining themed events and an extravagant costume contest which can win you up to $500. Food and drinks will be served alongside the event which all takes place in the Hotel’s MacGregor Ballroom, with REDRUM most likely being the house specialty. You must be 21 years of age or older to attend the ball and a costume is highly recommended. The festivities begin at 8pm and tickets are $325 per couple or $175 per person. Call 970-586-3371 for information or go to the Stanley Hotel website to purchase tickets. If you’re on the fence about this event, please let Yellow Scene remind you that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Wow. Where does the time go? Here we are, knee-deep in December, so focused on buying presents for and making plans with our loved ones that we completely spaced that New Year’s Eve is just around the corner.

Everyone has their own idea of “the perfect New Year’s Eve”. For some, the cliché kiss at midnight is key. For others, a steady stream of cocktails and champagne is the main attraction; and for most, the chance to bust out that Little Black Dress or polished suit and don a selection of sparkly party favors while breaking it down on the dance floor all night is the only way to welcome another year.

So whether you’re looking for live music, an open bar or to dress up in your best party outfit and dine on decadent desserts all evening, there’s a little something for everyone in this week’s The Bolder Life.

Cheers to you all for surviving another year, best health & wealth wishes to you, and best of luck with those hard-to-keep resolutions!

And as always, remember to make reservations!

It’s so last year to buy tickets the day of…
